Yes it's an excellent offer Harry, all Sky Sports in HD for equivalent of £22 per month for the season. It's actually cheaper than Sky so a big well done to VM from me 😃

Well done to VM for offering such a great deal and fantastic price savings. It's a shame no-one is praising them, considering the abuse VM take on here for their price increases.

Sucks that they're doing this on a Monday night. I know people are gonna be looking forward to watching Raw for the first time in HD, but they'll have to wait another week.

Still. 5 Sky Sports channels in HD, plus BT Sports 1 and 2 in HD thrown in for free? Can't complain, can you?

Here is that Sky Sports story again.

My Virgin insider told me this past weekend:

"I've also just been told the upcoming Sky Sports price increase, surprisingly its less than last year and doesn't affect every customer."

No price list was given

Possible £2.00 price rise? The bit I've highlighted bold is interesting though!

Sky recently increased the amount it charges Virgin Media for its channels, so the cost of the Sky Sports Collection and Sky Sports and Movies Collection is going up by £2 a month (although Virgin says this is less than Sky's £2.50 increase for the same packages). However, customers taking additional Sky channel packages will not be affected by the price rise, which comes into effect from September 1st.

Only thing I can think of is the HD pack, so maybe those with that will avoid the rise??.:shrug:

Or maybe something else is in the pipeline as both MB and theone still have DNPs about something. Dare I say the A word! ;)
