Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Not necessarily, if it is included or discounted in a package you'll probably be able to link your account through my virgin media like you can with Spotify.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

That's what I was thinking. Maybe if you sign up for Netflix via Virgin Media, Virgin will deduct the £5.99 per month, you have to pay directly to Netflix, from your monthly bill for the first 6 months? Unlikely I know but not impossible.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Or they do what they do with Spotify and link your accounts?
or give you a voucher code?

I personally wouldn't risk reducing peoples bills by £5.99 cause their is a chance they won't use it for Netflix.

About time fox+1 launched been rumoured for ages.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Finally! Fed up of fox+ being rumoured! Never seen virgin discuss channel launches in advance??

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Judging by what that said too about FOX and NAT Geo moving into the L pack , it's looking more and more likely my source is correct about XL soon becoming VMs version of Skys ent+ package and L being ent extra And M+ being ent.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Well done - good find.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

It's not really been rumoured, it's been confirmed as it has been on TV Anwhere. But I guess they can go ahead and tell people as it's been testing since Sepetember.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

The thing is mate with all these rumoured channels supposedly launching, where do you guys get the time to watch "more dross"..:D i for one probably only watch a handful of the channels available, and imo the majority are total pish!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
 

Me too out of the shed load of channels I watch dave hd, discovery shed , discovery, drama, sky prem, sky Disney , nick jr and sky sports when cricket is on. Just nice to have a shed load to choose from.
