Now that would be nice but highly unlikely.

Yes, Netflix in a bundle with perhaps other streaming services. Would like one of them to be Amazon First (Lovefilm) but I think that may still be a way off yet.

An "ideal" scenario for Netflex would be (a) free bundled for VIP package, (b) £2/month for XL subscribers, (c) £4/month for L subscribers, (d) £5.99/month the M+ subscribers, or something lke this, i.e. the higher package you buy the cheaper it is to add Netflix.

Info I have seen is just from a old 'Rumour Poster' I am holding back posting the info on what I have seen until a Virgin Insider tell me a same thing.

Yes, that would be sensible, but the ultimate goal should be a range of streaming services in a bundle. Inevitably, some of these would be subscription based and others PPV.

I would say this is perfect, but then I do have the VIP pack :D
Even £2 a month for Netflix is a good price really.

Aye but remember guys VIP package doesnt get exclusive offers like this. You just get everything VM provide you don't get extras. I remember people being convinced that VM would give BT Sport to VIP customers for free and i kept saying "VIP doesnt get extras, you just get everything they offer".

If Netflix is going to be free it'll be in the big kahuna + packages

does VIP even exist anymore anyway?

You cant signup for it but I am still on the VIP package, when I rang it wasnt worth swapping over to the big daddy package.

So?? In any case you could have stuck SSN on 500 and still keep the main sports channels in the logical order of having Sky Sports 1 on channel 501. Common sense, something which is lacking here.

Very poor decision, but at least I know who made it now....

Take more of the shows you love,
to bed.
Great news!
All Sky channels available through Virgin Media have now been enabled for multi-room streaming.

Meaning Virgin Media TiVo® customers can now stream all 37 Sky channels on up to six TiVo® boxes in the home.

Want to hit the sack, but you don't want to miss the finale of the epic Sky series you started watching on the sofa?

With multi-room streaming through TiVo, that's no problem. Just record the show, then pick up where you left off once you're tucked up in bed.

Everyone gets to watch what they want, when they want.

Please note: Some customers may find they need to reboot their TiVo box before this feature becomes available.

Find out more about multi-room streaming.

Be great if it worked without you having to wire all your house up! Give us a wireless dongle like Sky do to their customers.
