Everyone can view the channels at the moment, as they are just showing a slate on how to upgrade. Anyone who hasn't subscribed will not be able to view them from Monday.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Just received a call from Virgin saying everything will be done for me.

You can tell if you are subscribed if you did what I did. I looked at dates after the launch and I was able to put movies on record but when i tried to do that with channels I am not subscribed to it wouldn't let me put them on record, so if you can put programmes on record then you are subscribed. I hope this makes sense! Greg

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

Just had the following email:

Hi Ian

Thanks for your recent enquiry about our new HD channels and how they will affect your VIP package.

We are currently re-evaluating our whole VIP package but this can take some time but by early 2011 we'll be able to let you know what the changes will be. In the meantime we are pleased to let you know that if you want the HD channels adding to your account we will manually discount the charge, so it's free for the next 6 months.

We really appreciate your feedback about the new HD channels, and we hope you're really happy about the outcome.

Just so you know the changes will be shown on your bill as a Â£7.00 charge for the HD channels, there will also be a Â£7.00 discount showing under refunds and adjustments.

If you agree to this discount, you will be entering a new 12 month contract. Can you please reply to this e-mail advising me if you wish for me to action the changes on your account. Also please could you include your account information as this was not included in your original complaint.

You can contact my office between 9.00 am – 17.00 pm if you have any further questions regarding this.

Kind regards

Diane

Not sure, on replying I got an out of office notification that she's not back until the 9th August. Hope she has someone else checking her emails whilst she's on her training :)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

I got the same email too a couple hours ago, have replied by email and signed up as I dont intend leaving anytime soon so a new contract is not a problem for me.

I also suggested they carry out a survey of VIPers to get a broader range of opinions other than all from forums.

No complaints from me on VM's handling of this and fingers crossed the revamp really will be worth the wait.

:)

Edit: Just got the same reply back .. Out of office on training next week ... may need to phone instead if things arent done Monday

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package

So do all of us on V.I.P get these channels as a gesture? Or do we have to email Diane to get them?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
