it's like the speculation for ages of Sky dropping the HD charge when they were signing up record numbers.

Oops! I missed that bit.

Yes but that's for new customers or existing customers who are upgrading. Surely they'll swap my VBox for a V+Box HD especially as I suspect my VBox is
showing signs of failure.

I have to get an engineer out soon anyway to resolve a low signal problem affecting both the TV and broadband services. I'll be asking about swapping the box when I book the appointment but I wanted to know what the story was in advance so I can ask with confidence.

You might get a VHD that doesn't have HD activated, nought else.

All VHDs now have HD activated. However, you aren't guaranteed to get a VHD as a replacement for a faulty V-box.

Interesting new customers can only now get VHD boxes, I wonder when these boxes will be standard as fault replacements as well?

Once the stock of V-Box's runs out.

:confused: Er, can someone else field that one please, I'm busy scraping myself off the floor! :erm:

Should we then let overrated presenters like Jonathan Ross decide how much of that licence fee he is paid?

Premier Sports coming soon?

Someone on the Premier sports Facebook page has posted a copy of the following reply they received from Virgin in regards to Premier Sports launching.

"Many thanks for your e-mail.

I am responsible for the content proposition for sports and Premium channel offerings at Virgin Media. I appreciate hearing your views on Premier Sports and your interest in having this channel available on Virgin Media. I agree with you in that Premier Sports provides some great coverage of live sporting events and it is evolving into an impressive channel, I am pleased to say that we are in fairly advanced negotiations with Premier Sports and we really hope to launch this channel in the coming months, I’m afraid I don’t have a set date at the moment but if you keep an eye on our website we will keep it updated with launch news.

We do constantly review and evolve the channels we make available and try very hard to give everyone something they really want so it's really useful to hear comments from customers like you. This really helps us develop our future thinking and product roadmap.

Kind regards Emma

Emma Jones - General Manager
Future Entertainment"

I'm very dubious as to how accurate this e-mail is. How likely is it for a Virgin employee to make the following statement? "We are in fairly advanced negotiations with Premier Sports and we really hope to launch this channel in the coming months."
