So here we are long after the witching hour and thus judgement day has now arrived and we have lost 4 channels thus from last night and what have Virgin replaced them with and the answer to that is sweet nothing and again it seems the case of Virgin taking their customer's for mugs whilst raising their prices again and again for the same or even less content whilst SKY and BT roar on with their gleaming new battleships at their disposal it seems Virgin have only one weapon at their disposal and that is the trusty old water pistol.:sniper::sniper:

The reason I have it is because of the BB nobody can get close to even the slowest of virgins speeds in my area, but the loss of ESPN's 4 channels is I believe a serious break of contract on Virgins part, I will be getting my business partner to look into this today as he deals with company law.

If you aint a Sports fan it means nothing, but like yourself decidedly unhappy about losing, what, a third of our normal weekly football, with nothing as ever coming out of Virgin HQ :mad:

I'm not bothered about sport, but after 13 years of glorious cable TV I have decided to give sky a go for a year. Going to keep the BB. Just want to see how the other half live, then in 12 months time they might have got their **** together and welcome me back with open arms.

Unless something happens before 6pm (or new channels are anounced later today) this is a MAJOR failing by VirginMedia! The lack of information from VM does not help either :(

I am honestly surprised that a company aspiring to be the best in the market has told customers NOTHING... I'm off work today so will be on the telephone trying to find out what the competitors can do.... Not happy at the loss of espn, I don't want to pay any extra so having at least some sport included was ok (ish) for me...

And he will just tell you it was beyond Virgins reasonable control, it's not as if they have had the choice that the channels left the service and that BT wont give them new ones. So good luck trying to take them on!

The best person to ask about the in's and out's of contracts is Chad.

You have literally no idea whether that's true or not, so don't make out like it is.

Virgin don't own any channels so any of them closing are beyond its control. It's not about that though. It's about whether any changes VM makes are 'significant changes' and paragraph J3 applies. To lose a set of channels which VM sold separately for £8 a month would probably count, in my view.

I think my 17 year relationship with Blueyonder/virgin could soon be coming to an end. As I write my broadband is down again, Im a sports addict, especially the womens game, and it sadly looks like that will be gone off my TV screens. BTs first womens game is on saturday, should Virgin not have coverage by then I`ll be off. It seems like this happens every time there is a new provider.

Well folks hate to say I told you so,new channels were never on the cards,was always losing espn and after me brew and toast it's a call to vm to downgrade this poor excuse of a TV provider and believe in better .
The yanks are ruining are football clubs now there ruining our chance to watch premiership live footy and to make it worse charging the same.
