Virgin Media bundle
£32 per month

- 362Mb/s fibre broadband

Sky is £12 more per month, but for that you also get:

- Discovery+ Entertainment (worth £3.99)
- Disney+ Standard with Ads (worth £5.99)
- HBO Max Basic with Ads (worth £4.99)

* Plus, from July:
- Hayu (worth £5.99)

So which service is the best value very much depends on how many of these apps you really want, as the majority of people won't need all of these.

very useful post this sonicmaster!

As for sky atlantic finally coming i'll believe it then i see it! been about a decade of false starts with that one!

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
 
Hello all again, I am 80 years old and could do with a bit of info/help.
I am still using my V6 TV box as I understand the new stream box is not so good.

The wife wants to watch Take That on Netflix but it seems to want us to register/pay for doing that, yet very recently I could just press 204, Red button and screen icon to access the service.

Should I still be able to access Netflix with my old V6 or do I need to geta new stream box?
Any help most welcome. Gus.

The Netflix App still works on V6 boxes, so if you have a subscription it should allow you to watch things.
