Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Can anyone tell me what package and price they're paying currently? i have such a bizarre package which i'm pretty sure doesnt actually exist??

- 30 meg broadband (so this is L broadband?)
- XL Phone
- XL TV
- Sky Sports
- £10 off loyalty bonus

Our last bill was £112.00 which i'm guessing is due to phone costs like mobiles and stupid premium phone lines like 0845 etc. It's getting way too much. i've tried calling up retentions but they're quite cocky these days.

i tell them about deals and offers with sky and they start bragging about broadband sizes with virgin. looking at the vip collection i must be getting screwed over here shortly?!??!?!

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

if your paying that much you be better off on the vip package Vince get 120MB BB sky sports and movies in HD too

Indeed it has been a very good year Martin but somehow those prophets of doom lurking in the background will tell us something very different.:)

What was it before, I just find it on the guide if I need it :-)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

187 :)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Also reports that BBC ALBA will move to Virgin Channel 164 (From Channel 188)

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

If a HD swap ever does occur it seems a missed opportunity to start the "swap" section on ch 161 with BBC Two HD. BBC One HD/SD on 161 would have made more sense.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

so were will BBC three and four HD go ?162 and 163

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Yep, spiderplant has already confirmed that's where they'll go.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

See my blog for full list of BBC HD Channels numbers from December 10th.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.
 

Has any heard about the sky news HD channels coming not the rest of sky channels just the news channels (anywhere tv showing Alba on 164 so BBC 4 can't go 164 has well) maybe a mistake

your blog media boy says 163 for BBC 4
