Because i would have had to pay the £7.00 or cancel the HD Movies etc next month I have taken the plunge and upgraded to VIP50 for the modem £20 activation fee only and and the price has only gone up by £2.00.
It was installed yesterday with no problem, now have a super hub which was installed were I wanted it and a brand new V-HD box which replaced the old V box.

Not a winge, how will this affect VIP50 customers, seems like another (well deserved) improvement for other customers that isn't being reflected in improved services for VIP50 customers?

Apparently they are to change the VIP50 bundle sometime soon. Can anyone confirm this?

Not sure about the VIP50 but many of us on the original VIP contacted the Exec office and they said that they were looking at changing the VIP bundle and look to relaunch it at the beginning of 2011.

Interestingly, that link worked on the day it was posted but is coming up as "Oops! This link appears to be broken" now. What has changed? Have they taken this upgrade path away?

Think the news about upgrade "escaped" before it should, guess someone put live a page, which should have only gone on a test system. Think an announcement is due 1st February.

Re: VIP/VIP+ New and Improved VIP Package
 
I was recently contacted by a member of the CEO office with regards to the VIP package.He stated that the VIP package is to be revamped by the end of the first quarter, I reckon that this will be nice timing for the release of TIVO.Maybe a super VIP package will be released with TIVO and an upgrade for the VIP50 but I am just speculating.

I was one of the customers who contacted the CEO office. A lady called Diane gave me free HD channels for 6 months whilst they looked at the VIP bundles. Well as of this month I noticed they have started charging me the £7 for the HD channels.

I emailed Diane to enquire what was going on with regard to the VIP packages and got an email from some one else saying Diane no longer worked in the CEO office and that I should ring 150 about any service changes.
