Anyone with ultimate oomph put in a complaint using the link below
We had this when they added on extra HD fee per box to the VIP Package, enough of us emailed the CEO back then, they changed their decision after a few days

Given they are charging a extra £6 and even more if they get Sport UHD it should have been included.

Sports in UHD is part of the content agreement, I don't know what the reason is for the Sports delay for customer access though over the one that we've had for the Entertainment and Cinema content

Quote:
  • Multi-year partnership will see Sky channels, including Sky Cinema and Sky Sports, continue to be available across Virgin Media platforms
  • New availability of Ultra HD TV content, including sports and movies, and expanded collection of Sky boxsets available on demand
  • Deal strengthens relationship and spirit of collaboration between Virgin Media and Sky, building on recent AdSmart deal

I recently negotiated a good deal. Obviously a new 18 month contract is now in place.
If I decide to add Sky UHD will the £6 just get added onto the current price?
No change will occur to the recent negotiated contract that I mention.

That is true, looks like it can be removed after 30 days. Are you on the Ultimate Oomph package?

Cheers. And no. But if I was I would feel more ripped off. For obvious reasons. I get why the UO package existing customer folks are feeling hard done by. VM should take better care of existing customers after all many of them will have been with them for years paying their bills for years! Whereas with new customers you never know how long they'll stick around.

I'm on Maxit(so I was told at least) M200 and Talk Anytime. With Sky movies & sports collection HD. Although my online account still states VIP bundle and Full House. Anyway I did get a decent reduction on what I was previously paying. The price is showing correctly within the contract so that's good at least.

You downgraded and got a good deal? They normally offer UO for £99 existing customers to upgrade to it

No. No downgrade. All the same TV channels I've had for years. Same speed BB I've had for years. Same phone package also. Just had the price cut by £26. From about £119 to £93. Also I don't want two 360s right now. One reason is I have a decent number of movies recorded on my V6 downstairs. The boxes aren't all that different anyway as far as I can tell.

Just to be clear never been on UO by the way.

The point is that VM shouldn't have to charge more than Sky. How much of that is Sky imposed extra costs, and how much is VM?

UHD is only available on SkyQ main boxes because the mini-boxes (multi room) are not UHD compatible.
