I understand where you are coming from, my apologies.

And any of these companies in any way comparable to VM? No. Probably not.

And, because it's your box, you also pay for any servicing required. Which of course you don't with VM.

It's like fish-in-a-barrel, this is :D

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

And when it goes pear shaped you have to pay for it. Or if you have a fault you pay £65 - more than any of the price rises from what people have posted.

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

But the reality is it's unlikely to go pear shaped as PVR's are pretty reliable.
If you're that concerned it will be covered by a warranty anyway for at least the first year.
You can also buy an extended warranty for less than £65.
By comparison most TiVo faults are the result of signal problems rather than the box itself.

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Sky, O2, BT not comparable?

Clearly off in your own dream world again...

You like being a fish?

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Well I wasn't aware that Sky had them; BT is far bigger than VM, as is Sky.

No. Just clearly not quite thinking straight :)

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Can't get my head around why VM don't change their offering. They are the only company who can offer broadband and over the top TV without a phone line - its a huge differentiator between them and their competition

Dishes get knocked out of alignment though and there is a cost to sort it out

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Can and do, from £39.50. So what was your point? :confused:

Also... "over the top TV"? :confused:

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Over the top TV - TV via the internet

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Top Banana is meaning why don't they push it more as many people are sick to the back teeth of constant line rental increases no matter who your provider.

Examples of Over the top providers are Netflix , Lovefilm , Blinkbox , Acetrax etc.

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

That is exactly what I meant muppetman but some choose to make posters look like numpties as they think they are superior. That's me being polite, if I typed what I really think I would be banned.

Decipher that carl

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Thank you. Must remember that one :)

ISTR that VM did/do intend to move into that market; which is another reason they went with Tivo as it works with that system.

Wow! That's your attitude when I ask a genuine question :eek: Real classy :rolleyes:

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

No attitude at all Carl but you may want to put yourself in the shoes of the receiver from time to time. Then you may realise how you come across as its not that endearing

Re: The price of your Virgin Media service is going up
 

Someone's only been back a matter of days and the bickering, bold type, rolling eyes and refusing to accept others opinions has started again. So threads will start going down hill quickly from this point on.

Cheers

I asked you what "over the top TV" meant and you gave me attitude :confused:
