Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

How would I know if I was on XL or VIP? I've looked at a bill and it appears that I have everything on the VIP link: http://allyours.virginmedia.com/webs...ct.do?id=11029

However it doesn't mention VIP on my bill.

Hi There!

Thanks for asking us to add premium TV channels to your Virgin Media account. The great news is, Virgin Media Entertainment have approved your order. If you are an existing TV customer your new channels will be ready to watch within the next 24hrs.

Don't know if its been mentioned, theres 2 many posts to read through as I've been at work, but does anybody think 516 on the EPG is being reserved for SKY Sports News HD? Again, sorry if its been mentioned.
Thanks.

They should also be told about what a bad deal this is for SkY sports only subscribers maybe a Â£3.50 charge would have been more appropriate.

Sky are the ones who have set this price not VM. I'm sure in an ideal world VM would have given this to XL and VIP people for free but Sky are the ones who set the price

Couldn't agree more - I only get Sky Sports so it makes no sense at all and I won't be paying it.

What does make sense is getting a price from Sky and ringing retentions though....
