TV XL, BB L, Phone M and Sports is Â£68.99 a month, so Â£75.99 with HD.
With movies it's Â£73.99, or Â£80.99 with HD.

I have TV XL, BB L, Sports+movies, Phone XL, Caller Display Â£71.49, a month, considering HD.
Just added movies yesterday and the above deal is what I was offered. Asked for a wireless router and was given one free, have to pay the postage. Broadband was not part of the new deal as already had it, just tried to see what I could get for free.

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.

I got the same email but I had just ordered the movies pack SD. Dont think it is for HD pack as it says ready to watch within 24 hrs.

So MB where do you think they'll put Sky1 HD on the EPG?

I know Virgin like to keep it tidy so do you think they'll sacrifice Virgin1+1 and put it on slot 120?

I have no idea on how Virgin Media will play this one may it will be like this:

EPG - Channel Name (Notes)
118 - Free Number (For Sky1 HD)
119 - Sky1
120 - Sky2
121 - Sky3
122 - Virgin1
123 - Virgin1 +1
124 - LIVING

It was probably a clever ploy - like the Wispa thing ;)
