Cable Forum - General Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.

I would not be shock if sky and bt done deal to shaft virgin by telling bt make unrealistic demands that virgin never go for.

At end of day virgin now suffering not having its own channels as leverage with sky power influinence there able to block negotiate with companies exclusivity deals.

XL package now getting very thin without replacements. You wonder if you going mental keep it going either drop down or just take plunge for vip.

virgin backed into corner here goto shape up to fight. If this american says he got bottle take on sky then prove it.

Do deal for bt sport then do discount for XL owners vip on scale depending you pay.

Say 50% discount towards paywall bt sport vip
30% for xl package infact scaling prices should be for any charge content from online movie rental to sky sports for say 5 years loyal customers.

To many times you see companies ignore loyalty

Let war begin virgin cant take customers granted anymore they become sloppy to think they wont walk. Virgin cant afford to let customers leave.

Digital Spy Poster martine93 (We know him as HD Boy) is reporting that the FOUR Channels that Virgin Media are testing is saying on the now and next banner "channel coming soon".

No word yet on if they are also showing any real channel names yet.

if it doesnt appear i'm fuming. VM have hinted at it for months "dont worry good things are coming ;) " when you talk to customer service.

bt sports aint appearing tomorrow,BT are tweeting/facebook and telling customers it aint gonna be on vm.Sky are telling customer it aint and vm are facebook/tweeting no deal is done,Still talking
They have been talking to sky about atlantic for nearly two years and talking as amounted to nothing :(

Got this through the post today, think someone at Virgin is having a joke...

My favourite part is the opening line of the inserted letter:

"we don't want you to miss a minute of the action so we've pulled together everything you need to know about the best upcoming sports events all in one place."
