It is only money? If you cannot afford it cancel if you can stop moaning and just deal with it?

Light the blue touch paper and stand well back?

Re: TV price rises
 

But it is in the human mentality to moan and some will moan more then others Devil and they are entitled to have a moan and if they are so unhappy with the price rises then they have a decision to make and that is do l go to another provider or do l stay.:)

I think Virgin have to cover their costs as everyone says they want new channels. I do question however the TiVO price rise as it seems to discourage people taking it up. I don't have it yet and have to say the price rise is off putting. I think long term it would be better if Virgin went back in to the channel owning area unless that is that Sky are forced to seperate their operations.

Re: TV price rises
 

One of the disappointing things with the TiVo price rise is that the V+ is no longer available for new customers so if you want a PVR from VM you will automatically have to pay an extra £5 on top of the usual XL TV price :(

Re: TV price rises
 

Just asked the head honcho on the support forum to give a guarantee that the £5 per TiVo charge wouldn't be rolled out to all customers this year. He didn't give any guarantee. Nuff said.

Re: TV price rises
 

Well if existing customers who are paying the £3 fee at present see this go up to £5 then there will considerable unhappiness one would imagine.:td:

Re: TV price rises
 

To be honest, there was no chance he would. All that any company (big or small) can do is tell you whether there are any current plans to do something. Company plans can and do change

At present there are no plans to change the pricing of TiVo for existing boxes.

So much for the £3 TiVo fee being dropped eventually, it's going up instead to £5.

Re: TV price rises
 

Well as long as they don't pass on those charges to existing V+ customers forceing them in effect to "Upgrade" to the TiVo boxes.

I just had a letter today saying my package will increase by £4.50pm. Adding another £5.00pm would make that a very hefty monthly increase. I'm affraid that even being with cable since 1994, this would seriously leave me looking at bog standard Freeview..... Shame, there you go. I will of course keep a watchful eye to see what VM will be bringing to us this year including TV channels.

Re: TV price rises
 

'At present no plans' usually means it'll deffo happen. Another price rise will come September time when the early TiVo adopters have signed up for another year and they'll hope we've forgotten about the first rise.

You must be so much fun on a night out......:D

Wouldn't you like to know. I'm taken for, Tubbs is my only true love :p:

The £2 price rise will be worth it if we get new HD channels.

But Crockett begins with a 'C', not a 'K'.....;)

Re: TV price rises
 

On the basis that a price rise gives you the chance to cancel the service, and they've discontinued the alternative, I don't see it happening.
