Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

amazon for a few quid on virgin media would make up for all the rubbish price increases... but i very much doubt we'll get any discount!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

There's a rumour that Netflix 4K will be discounted on the V6 and will be cheaper than Netflix HD. If this turns out to be true, I wonder if Amazon will also discount their product?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Well did those who subscribed to Netflix when it arrived on Virgin get 6 months free Vince?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

No but there have been offers for 6 months of Netflix at times. When VM struck a deal with them.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

will you need Tivo to use it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I can see Amazon and Netflix doing some pricing discounts but maybe not until the new year. Certainly a great month for VM - 4G finally released, Amazon on its way and a new box on soft launch.
I suspect December will be a quiet month for everyone except theone2k10 who will be wondering how he can slip in a yuletide quip about price rises. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Yes one would imagine but that is unlikely to be confirmed until it launches due to NDA's.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Yes.

Amazon Instant Video is a quality service. For the past 2 years Amazon have offered a price cut in the annual subscription in the week leading up to their Black Friday sale. Last year it was £59.00 for a full years worth of Prime.

Well worth putting the money aside over the next 2 weeks in anticipation of another price drop. Works out at £4.92 per month, a saving of £20.00.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

i never got that den as already had a netflix subscription.

I probably should have just signed up for a new one ...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

You were able to apply the six month credit to an existing Netflix account.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

And if you have access to a student/academic email address (ending in .ac.uk) you get Amazon Prime half price (just under £40) per year, which includes Amazon Video, Amazon Music, and unlimited cloud storage for photos.


Bargain!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I wouldn't be surprised if vm get some kind of deal Amazon instant video and Netflix at £10 for both, this would however exclude Amazon prime service.
I will see if any sources have any info about possible deals and reveal what i can subject to DNPs.

No once signed up you can use the app on various devices such as games console, smart tv, roku etc.
Tivo will be the only VM box to support it though it will not be on the VHD (do they still issue this box?).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

For me even at full price Amazon Prime is pretty good value that said I would like to see them add more Original content to their streaming library it seems a little things on the ground.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Thats what put me of not enough original content but they seem to be working on that. Another thing I did not like was that some of the films and programmes were at an additional cost and not included in the prime subscription. I prefer Netflix but thats just my preference although at the moment I do not use netflix through the Tivo due to speed issue but hopefully that will be sorted soon one way or the other.
