If they did i would say a rise is on the cards this year DF.

Sky haven't increased TV package prices since August 2010 and probably won't until August 2012. Even if you hate Sky you have to admit that's a good thing to do for customers.

It also helped to wipe out the price difference between Virginmedia and Sky tha WAS in Virginmedias favour. Could anyone work out how many various price increase Virgin has had since August 2010? Let me try..

I think "maybe"

A phoneline rental increase in Nov 2010?
Broadbandprice increase April 2011
TV price increase April 2011
Phone call charges rise August 2011

Phoneline rental increase Nov 2011
Call charge increase Nov 2011
coming soon
Tivo price increase Feb 2011
Broadband Increase April 2011
TV Increase April 2011
Call charge increase April 2011

That 10 price increases and Sky has ad 1 bring phoneline rental upto £12.25 a month.

So I recon its 100% fact of a Sky price rise but it will be softened by free wifi via the cloud, LOTS OF NEW SERVICES-(I know of 2 have pictures of 1 but would get someone into trouble if I posted)

To be fair and balance the argument aren't VM also bringing out new products TIVO buddy app , faster BB speeds , multiroom streaming plus more and your wrong Sky have more than 2 new services coming out this year ;) new EPG , shared planner , new Sky+/Zeebox powered app , Sky Anywhere (Wifi) , Sky Sports F1 HD and Sky Fibre. I'm assuming you mean you've seen the new Sky EPG one I've never heard said before on a forum :)

Its not actually a picture its a 7 second video and yes its probably the same one you have seen then, But there a few 100 people with the EPG I believe so it was always going to get leaked out.

Fully agree DF , and I still stick by the fact VM will be the best option for some my parents can only get 1mb over ADSL and with no Infinity they choose VM , plus many packages are still cheaper/better value for some with VM likewise the same can be said about Sky.

According to the VM website multiroom is £6.50 plus another £5 if you want a recordable TiVo box so £11.50- I guess your free multiroom is a deal?

No, it's available to all existing TV XL customers taking TiVo if they keep their existing box and relocate it.

Ya know what, I'm happy to leave it at that and I certainly would not send anything to someone I do not know only for it to be all over the web within 30 minutes.

Its not on the web right now, and when it does hit the web(which I suspect will be with a few weeks) I won't of come from me.
