my new XXL tv pack idea has 126 channels, so i you don't want to pay fro these channels then don't

What do you suggest the price for your XXL TV pack should be?

Looking at all these channels it would at least cost up to a tenner or more and then you can add another tenner on for Boxnation.

i checked on the sky website and i worked out getting all the tv channels they had (only tv, not broadband and calls) come to about £64.

since sky overcharges virgin media, i would say £70-85 at least

This itv vod advertising deal vm and itv are having, mentioned by media boy about, itv using VM technology be part for the itv hd deal? What I mean by this is ITV say let us use your tch for adverts on the vod so we don't have to develop it and will will allow itv hd channels has part of the carriage agreement for youl XL customers

I think Virgin need to get all the channels off broadcasters on Virgin right now before adding new ones (Like Russia Today).

Also why do Virgin Viewers need to pay £3.50 for Baby TV when Sky Viewers can get it as part of their Family Pack.

NOTE: Baby TV was in the Family pack on Sky last year.

Thats a good question and perhaps we can get the resident emailer and Twitterer HD boy to send another of his regular questions to them.:)
