I was told today as I already have two V+ I only have to pay £50 for the third one to be installed.

I don't understand why it costs so much more than installing a normal box. There's no more work involved if your swapping out a old box. I think when we originally had one of these boxes put in it was free but the subs were I think about £10 then. We kept the old box even thou we didn't use or need it. I gave up the TV so cable still here. Its just a case of plugging it in. Could do that myself. I am dammed if I'm going to pay £150 + subs just to plug a cable in. I would not mine having it on a contract but £150 or even £99 is too much when a normal box installation is only £30 or free. After all its the same work involved for the two. Another VM rip off.

It's £30 + £15 per month for a third V+ when you are on VIP - which your profile says you are

Because the boxes themselves costs more

Don't get one then

It's less than the £199+install+multiroom that Sky charge you for additional Sky+/Sky+HD boxes

So what you are basically saying is you are paying / subsidizing Virgin media for equipment you will never own. I've never bought anything before that I have had to hand back to the company when I have finished using it. That's the reality here.

Yes it is

Ever rented a car on holiday? You pay more for a higher spec model - yet you have to return it at the end
