And one of those was VAT increase.

Strangely enough, Sky's prices also went up twice in the last year - September and January....

And of the channels removed, didn't Sky actually remove two of those?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

ESPNA HD is an incredibly niche channel with a miniscule weekly reach, perfect for a stand alone subscription package but not perfect to be included in a package like XL and certainly not when they don't charge extra for HD.

I doubt it's that high up on VM's 'HD shopping spree' list but we'll see.

---------- Post added at 15:36 ---------- Previous post was at 15:19 ----------

Sky of course put their prices up, usually in September. And Sky did close some of the ex-VMtv channels but since their September price rise they have launched Nickleodeon HD, Disney XD HD, Eden HD, ITV2 HD, ITV3 HD, ITV4 HD and Sky Atlantic HD. Of course they can do this because of their pricing structure, nevertheless value has been added since their price rise.

As far as I recall no pay channels have been added to XL for over 6 months but i'm happy to be corrected on that. Let's see what happens now VM's prices have increased.

Mate your constant defence of virgin despite the facts
is both without substance and tiresome. You are obviously entitled to your opinion but then again so are those that think the world is flat:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It is flat:erm::D:D:D

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The question is what shopping spree, at the moment l see no sign of one.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

They are just getting the taxi back at the moment as they are laden down with bags.

Dont like the layout of Tv Choice now.
One more step to get to TV Choice content :-P

But its good that L Customers can now watch on demand

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

And you are entitled to your views, bitter and vituperative that they are. ;)

I try and see both sides, you don't seem to see that there is more than one side - such is life.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Not at all, unlike yourself I only deal in facts. Broadband, telecommunication and customer service are excellent with virgin. TV? sub standard and falling further behind every month. You keep the false rumours that are as always empty. Good luck Shuggie

MB when does wwe Tough Enough start in the uk

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

The planned 'HD shopping spree' was mentioned by a staff member on here so you will have to wait and see when it starts.

Maybe they are waiting until they have enough nectar points.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

hahahahaha quality, sounds about right

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I think patience is definitely required of us all. VM are on the up just now, investing a small fortune on TiVo and coming soon HD channels. I think we should at least be grateful that there's something on the horizon...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

VM are awaiting the start of the HD sale before they go shopping as we type DF is queuing up to see what bargains are in the sale which is why he has not been on much.:D The moment the sale starts DF will be looking to see what price reductions are on the HD channels before maxing his vm credit card out.:D:D;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

VM have got a credit card? It must be a sub prime one! ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Would disagree about the "On the up" thing. Tivo has dragged on that long now I wish they had never mentioned the thing and just continued as they were, there is building interest and teasing ahead, but this is beyond a joke now. As for adding HD channels, That would hardly pacify me at the moment, giving me yet another option to watch a channel I can already watch. Their first priority should be to add the high profile channels that are missing from SD Virgin Media, as just recently they have added none of them and only succeded in removing channels (the removal of my favourite music channel MTV Classic, is still pretty raw for me). This is not a platform on the up, but one which seems to bring to mind "rats deserting a sinking ship"

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Can people just wait as we know channels have been removed and added, But to what ratio over the last year.
We all know that more are coming and so some may go, So can I just say that if you do not like it you are able to vote with your feet and move provider ( I know that some people are unable to get certain providers ).

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

l will wait but peoples patience is beginning to wear thin with Virgins vague promises and words.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Since now I have shortened what you have said please think about what you post and remember that we were all young once:dozey:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Im getting worried that they are going to show it on a delay in the UK and they will give it away on each Raw. :(

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I know exactly what l am posting about and consider my opinions very carefully, everybody is entitled to their opinion whether its me, you or anybody else as we live in a free world where no ones opinion should be muzzled.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

WWE Tough Enough Will Be On a Sky Channel Maybe on Sky 1 or Sky Sports it Might Replace WWE Superstars Because WWE Superstars Has Been Axed By WGN America.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Sorry, do we all know channels are coming? Virgin employees and apologists on here have been trotting that line for many many months. Seems to most that there is nowt coming soon

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I think the real difficulty is nobody who posts here can prove anything is actually coming soon. At the same time nobody who posts here can prove Virgin have nothing in the pipeline. This thread is now just a battle ground for people with different views on Virgin to butt heads. Whilst this thread is highly entertaining, and the most popular thread on this site, there is very little factual coming soon news ever posted these days.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

With 360,470 views and 5,987 replies (at time of posting), I would say the TiVo thread is the most popular thread. Which is quite interesting, when you look at the poll on the thread for whether people will get TiVo as 58.79% of voters say they will not be getting TiVo. So I find it surprising that the TiVo thread gets so many views when it appears the majority of this forum's readers have no intention of getting TiVo! :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I think that this is more to do with disappointment over the final offer rather than over the product ;)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

No, they said they wouldn't take up the pre-reg offer.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

well yet another new channels starts next week,Sony entertainment.And yet again only on sky,What is going on vm?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Sadly the seem to have given up:td:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Well i hope yer wrong,But its certainly starting to look that way

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Where the HELL is Sky's listings for Tough Enough

It doesnt show it on Monday at all

Please dont tell me we will be weeks behind the US and RAW will ruin it for UK viewers.

MB or anyone else, do you know anymore information?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Statistically yes, I can't argue with you.

If however you visit the first post on this thread Media Boy does state;

"This is a continuation of all the 'Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)' threads which you can find here:"

So if you add the views and posts on this thread to those of the 2010 threads we have a clear winner:p:

All jokes aside, you do make a great point about the Tivo thread. I think the main reason the other thread is so popular is because of the lack of info from Virgin over the past 6 months. People were finding more answers to their questions on the Tivo thread than they were relying on Virgin. Ironically I think it's the reason this thread is so popular too!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

It seems that patience is a virtue that many on her dont seem to have. How would we all feel if Virgin announced the following;

From next month we will be adding the following channels;

Sky Arts 1 HD
Sky Arts 2 HD
History HD
Sky Atlantic HD
Nickelodeon HD
BIO HD
ITV2 HD
ITV3 HD
ITV4 HD
EDEN HD
Nat Geo Wild HD
Disney XD HD

Due to the cost of aquiring these channels we are going to have to introduce an HD sub of £11 per month for all HD channels(this does not include any premium HD channels)

We will also be launching ESPNA HD and ESPN 2, but once again due to the cost of aquiring these channels we will have to change our pricing. So from the middle of next month we will be removing all ESPN channels from the XL package, and placing these channels in a premium package costing £12 a month.

We hope that you will be happy that we went out and got all these extra channels for. As for the price increases, what did you expect.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

I have seen no listing for WWE Tough Enough on UK Telly - but still looking.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. I.
 

Lets be totally honest here, VM is a second rate provider, they give all these promises about what they will provide.

They have plenty of space to add channels, but all they do is take channels off THEY don't want, and replace them with crap channels that no one wants, they search the market for channels and don't like the prices that providers want.

VM do not keep customers up to date with anything, we all rely heavily on MB for our information.

Dont get me wrong, l have both services (VM and Sky) With VM the phone service is great, but the TV needs to be vastly improved to satisfy the needs of the consumer - US

I think that Niel Berkett, should listen to us, but he won't, Cable services need a kick up the rear, As l said in a previous comment, If l was running VM l would be fighting with Sky, to give the consumer the best of Tv quality first, and then think of how l could improve to to give value for money, and at the moment VM are not doing that,
