Just spoken to customer services, she knew straight away, she said she has recieved training on this tonight, you have to subscribe to sports and movies in SD first and then the HD variants will be available
for £7 per month per box regardless of what tv package you are on. These will be available from the 19th july:):)

I agree with others, for VIP customers it is shocking, with no price price cut for sports or movie channels, it should be absorbed within the current price, not an extra fee on top.

I can't believe the moaning going on in this forum. A couple of months ago we hardly had any HD channels at all. Since then Virgin added 12 channels for free with more to come. And now quite a few threaten to leave because of the HD premium channel charges. If you were that bothered about Sky Movies and Sports in HD, why didn't you go to Sky ages ago?
Agree on Jab's comment about VIP customers though.

God! so many people have said that before! Some people can't get Sky, so cable is their only choice for HD

Well done Ottoni. I think we also should give credit to Henkesghost who actually said this earlier.

Most of them actually threaten to go to Sky! Ok, if you can't have a dish, that's a problem. But expecting the premium channels for free???

yeah, fair point expecting the premiums for free was maybe a bit..shall we say over confident, but I did expect virgin to maybe stagger the cost depending on what package you are on.

like i said i would willingly pay for a HD premium package (as long as the price reflects the fact there is no SD content included) but all this throwing the SD channels for free is of on interest to me.
But the price you'd pay for a "HD premium package" would be more than you pay for the SD channels anyway. You're not going to get it cheaper than you'd get the SD channels for so I don't really see the argument of "just give me the HD!" because you'll still be paying more than the basic SD price.

No worries, don't want to fight ;) And like I said I totally agree that especially VIP customers (which I am not btw) should pay less.

From the 1st of May this year Virgin ran a series of adverts:

“Virgin Media. Amazing HD. No extra monthly fee.”

What do you expect 2 months later when rumours are rife that you'll be charged £7.00 per box to receive SKY Sports and Movies.

We might be different there, but I never expected the premium HD channels to be free.

why pay per box why not per account like any other channels you pay for i dont pay £27.50 per box for sports and movies.

I won't mind the £7 charge so much if it was for both my boxes. (Multiroom)

Just seems a slap in the face becuase we've been waiting so long for them. Plus no discount different prices for different packages of TV m, l, xl etc. You get a discount for sky sports and sky movies with the different tv packages.

It kinda blows and sucks.

Because that is Sky's pricing model. If you are a Sky customer and want HD on two boxes you pay £20 per month.
