When are the new VIP rules going to be released?
Is there any offer with the tivo box if you are on VIP 50?

There are no details in the December offers, so it won't be this side of Christmas

Vip50 might be a good idea

if i've added it up right you're currently paying £105.49. If so, upgrading to vip50 should get you the box you want, and a price reduction to £96.50...check back through this thread. And, welcome to the forum

Thanks for your replys, would i get free install and activation or is that being a bit cheeky?

Just cancelled my VIP pack after two years, I no longer thing it is the bargain that it one was. Instead of adding the top tier services to it they just created a new one and charged more for it.

so got rid of all the telephone gubbins except a basic line, kept TV XL, the second STB (VHD), V+ and 20MB.

The girl on the line was trying to charge me £15 for my two boxes and it took about five minutes for her to register that there should be no cost form my V+ on XLTV. Along with the Asia pack that comes to £71, if I had not questioned the STB prices that would have cost me £81.

For the first time in 13 years we have no Sky Movies or Sports at home.

Will wait and see what new VIP packs come out next year.

Whats the chances of this going smoothly and not losing my HD channels?

Hi first post. I'm on VIP 20 and 6 months into contact. Can I upgrade yo VIP50. Is it worth it? Also can I exchange my 2nd sd box for a standard v hd box and modem for media superhub at no extra cost. Please advise.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 
Yes yes and yes, vip20 isn't as good value as vip50

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 
Wonder if anyone can offer any advice. I am currently on the VIP 50 package which costs £96.50 per month. When I got it installed I hd my 2nd box (standard box) replaced witha V HD box. All I had to pay extra at that time was a £20 activation fee for the 50Mb Broadband. Since then I have replaced the non-HD TV which was connected to the V HD box with a shiny new HD TV. I phoned Virgin Media to get the V HD box activated and was shocked when I was asked to pay a £49 activation fee for the basic HD channels. Is that correct or should that have been free.

Any help would be appreciated.
