Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

Seeing as you're on XL TV and setanta is free on that, i'm sure VM will happily refund the full £0.

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

Same price? Less channels? No sport left in the XL package? That sounds good.

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

You will have Eurosport - what more do you want?! :lol:

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

VirginMedia are free to add or remove channels at will to the packages. infact the setanta package was added to XL as a "replacement" to the sky basics which are now back, so they will bee under no obligation to give you a rebate etc for the loss of the channels.

That being said IF a package change (ie loss of channels) amounts to a "siginifant change in the package" you will bee free to end your contract no matter how long is left on it and switch to sky etc.

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

Wrong. You can 'cancel the affected service' not the entire contract.

So if Setanta sports get removed from XL tv, you can stop taking XL tv, but that is all

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

right AND wrong. if you take the services seperatly then yes you would only bee allowed to cancil the affected servives. However IF you have a bundled deal then you would bee able to cancil the entire bundle as changes to 1 part of the bundle affects the value of the entire bundle.

note im talking from a contractual point of view NOT vm's TOS pov.

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

That's definitely the best of both worlds imo.

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

Why leave VM if Setanta closes, Sky will not have the channel either!

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

Perhaps people will want a refund from Sky after moving if Setanta isn't there either..

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

..doesn't Sky require you to have a BT phone line if you take their TV?

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

no they say you will need it to get the full benefits eg red button voting on reality shows
it it is not a condition you can still have sky with no phone line

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

If it is just for the TV service itself you can use any Phoneline - you only need a BT one if you want Sky Talk/BB

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

No i have sky hd with a virgin phoneline and broadband all sky need it to set up there box is a phoneline to do a callback on to activate the box! Cheap sky hd courtesy of step dad awsum!

Re: Is it worth keeping Virgin if Setanta goes bust
 

when VM added setanta to the XL package there was no price rise (granted there may have been since,but not related to setanta) to reflect the setanta channels added to the package,so you would do well to get a refund ;)
