Emailing Neil Berkett really works.

I have just had a phone call from the Executive Office (Not Neill himself) but had a very intresting phone call around £7 HD charge and the future of the VIP pack.

The future looks bright.

I will post more later tonight but this guy is really hands on.

I hope so there are 3 in my house 5 if you include the 2 laptops with a TV tuner.

Hi

Trying to keep this " on topic" I've just signed up for the lot, SS 1-4, (1 + 2 HD) + all
Sky Movies + the HD version, had movies before but not Sports and ? other HD channels as and when announced.
Question,
Any thing more definate than " as and when " on these extra HD channels Sky are
kindly " giving us access to" as part of this extra £ 7.

Got to say that total price increase not too bad, less than VM website predicted.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I noticed that the sky sports hd channels have appeared on 517 and 518, possibly leaving 516 for Sky Sports News HD ?

And by the way, nothing is going to stop me paying a bit extra, it's just the per box thing which I don't like. But, we have been waiting for these channels for so long, so bring em on.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Been on the phone had a chat with CS

He said they have to charge £7 due to sky wanting to continue there HD £10 fee and was part of the deal when they sold VMTV. He said when sky remove their HD fee it would be removed from VM too but said sky wont do that for the next few years.

Couldn't offer me anything only upgrade the V box to a HD Vbox for £35 or £15 self install.

He also said buy a new LED TV that plus the V+ Box upscaling looks just as good as HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

And I can promise you that is pure speculation on the advisors part. None of that has been in any briefing for staff

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Added hd sub to v+ downstairs dont see the point on the v hd box upstairs as its only 19 incher.Thought he may have took my card number but as soon as i said v+ he had the details there and then.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

oh the suspense, cmon man please spill!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

I called cs at 11am they said they didn't have the codes yet and to upgrade online, but cannot find £7 price online.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

www.virginmedia.com/skyhd

Although the codes are now live for agents to use so there shouldn't be an issue now

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

did that include the activation fee as its supposed to be £49 for that alone :( Upscaling doesn't look anything like HD btw, its a shame so many companies say that when its simply not true.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

just did a quick price comparison using the websites for TV only, ongoing monthly price.

Sky £67.50 43 HD channels.

Virgin £63.50 30 HD channels.


That is everything available

ESPN
Sports
Movies
HD subs

Virgin is ridiculously overpriced in comparison.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
 

Thanks, I tried that site, but it only gave prices for the sd channels + the hd ones, I already have the sd ones, may call again when I get home from work.

Also when I phoned there was a recorded message saying I hadn't swapped my card out yet, I have done this already, and our box downsatairs was only installed recently and came with the N3 card, should I be worried? Thanks
