Do Virgin Media constantly try to improve there TV services?

I think I might go to Sky when my contract ends. I worked out I'm only saving a few pound by staying with Virgin when I done a "build your own bundle" on Sky Sports website.

I think that ''bandle'' deal will end at the end of August when Sky cut their ''Famliy bandles'' from SIX packages to TWO packages on September 1st.

Well, just bear in mind that whilst Sky have more channels, Virgin Media have the best on demand system and Sky don't have catch up TV.

There will be developments during the course of this year on VM, and the TIVO box is well worth considering. Much better than Sky can offer, IMO.

Didn't it rebrand to TCM from TNT in the first place? I wonder if they'll bother to start broadcasting in widescreen when they rebrand.

So despite the fact we get HD for free and additional boxes are only £6.25 per month, Sky is supposedly a better deal? They should be shot for charging £20.50 for years not plauded for still charging £4 more than Virgin.




Sky 3D
Sky Atlantic
Food Network
MGM HD
Al Jazeera English
Investigation Discovery

So out of the six respectable channels Sky have that Virgin don't that aren't just +1 or HD, which are the ones your family "really enjoys"? All I see is one popular channel and a overhyped tech demo.

But as I understand it, that £7 charge is levied by Sky. As Sky's charge per box is changing, is it's likely VM's will also?

I would think it may depend on the agreement vm have in place for the carriage of sky sports/movie HD channels,just because skys price is changing does not necessarily follow vms will be.

Although for those that sub to them i hope they do.
