Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I think I'm only VIP 20? Only just recently upgraded. Would I need to upgrade to VIP 50 to keep the premium channels after 6 months? I'm paying about £96?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

No you shouldn't (unless you actually like distorted pictures)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

So much for the ceo office been so good i asked for the HD channels to be added as i stated in my previous post. Guess what they were not added and neither was the discount, so i again fired off anther email to try and get this sorted and whilst out with the children i got a phone call from the office again asking me to call about the HD channels and also my disgust that only that the vip + 50 meg were getting these. Going to be a intresting call tommorrow? As i am out of contract?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

My HD channels have not yet been added either despite accepting the discount arrangements last Saturday. Have sent a chasing email to CEO office.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I certainly wasn't aware that Sky's £10pm HD supplement was per box:shocked: maybe for sports and movies like us, but not for the bulk of other HD channels. And look at the price for the second box, when you look under the shiny surface of Sky you soon see its only skin deep.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Yes, I know she does.

:confused:

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

I upgraded to VIP50 on Tuesday, new modem etc is being installed next Monday. When should the HD channels become available to me? Thanks :)

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Can I ask how much I should be paying for the below bundle:

VIP
Additional V+ Box (instead of the normal second box)

We're currently paying £103.74 - though that includes £1.25 for paper billing - so taking that off it becomes £102.49. Is this incorrect? Thought I'd question that before I sort out the Sky HD channel situation.

Speaking of which how much more would it cost to go with the VIP 50 deal based on the above? £5? but then another £7 to get it on the second box too? Would have been very tempted if it was included for both boxes for free. I think the 6 month free on VIP20 would be a better deal. With that you'd only have to pay £7 to get it on both boxes. Granted you wouldn't get the increased speed but is it really worth paying another £5 for that?

BTW This 12 month tie-in does that tie you into just the VIP package or the Sky HD bundle too?

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Yes agree I can also see that when adding to basket - so I'm guessing its new customer/online order price - were if we upgrade its a £49 charge.

Plus VIP 50 is not an option YET via online and I do know there is a separate install charge for 50MB Broadband/activation charge etc.

Remember its a one off £49 for a 2nd VHD Box and you will get all HD channels under XL TV plus any future HD channels that get put under XL TV for no extra charge.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Whats wrong with this bill then? I'm not paying £97.50 for vip 50 and I have skymovies and skysports in hd too.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

i called retentions big red and still nothing that was at 4 pm yesterday
ill try again later on today .

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

Maybe they are just slow at updating the webpages. My 2nd box in the bedroom with only 19" attached so I don't see the point of paying £49 to get HD on it. So I'll leave it as is.

Kudos to you though for starting this thread and informing everyone of the deals.

When calling, choose the option 'Thinking of leaving', that will put you direct on to retentions.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 

you guys might be happy - the VIP 50 is a good deal if you are prepared to pay extra.

I'm on the VIP 20 with a 3rd STB and feel I already pay enough. I was really hoping they would do something to make this pasckage more 'Impressive' but that has not happened. I was kind of expecting the Sky Premium cannels on all boxes as the bare minimum.

Of course it isn't early 2011 yet and this could still happen - just my feelings on a post card ;)
