[0uote=JG3870;34210783]The family pack will be called TV size XL Yep guess at the moment its what will be (family) XL 2megBB & the old 1,2,3 phone price( to be honest my bill is so low as to not matter on the call charge part). I guess that anything will in the end cost more on the bottom line. I want to keep the TV part BB 2meg is fine ( more is always welcome) & the cheapest phone deal. I have at the moment 2 discounts on BB one I understand ½ price for 3 months, the other while welcome is a puzzle £4.50 for 12 months?:erm: |

Scuzz was owned by Sky when it started up but Sky sold their Music Channels to the owners of Chart Show TV about two years ago. |

Are all Sky channels in danger of being dropped, or just the ones that are not on both the NTL and the Telewest networks, ie Sky Two, Sky Travel, Sky Travel Extra (NTL only) and Sky Movies 10 (Telewest only)?

Re: Virgin Media News
Opinion from The Guardian
Virgin Media needs more than hot air to succeed Like many people in the UK, I feel as though I know Sir Richard Branson, even though I don't. He's a sometimes controversial entrepreneur, whose woolly jumpers and hot air balloons connected him to a public more used to seeing suits and corporate jets. Despite the many glitches with his wide and varied corporate involvements, from signing the Sex Pistols, to owning an airline, to launching a cola brand, to running a train service, the entrepreneur and the Virgin brand have retained a peculiar affection in the hearts and minds of the British public. So much so that a year ago, with the merger of Virgin Mobile with cable companies Telewest and NTL, it was decided that the new enterprise should be called Virgin Media. At the time, Sir Richard, who is the largest individual investor in the merged company, said that once the Virgin brand arrived the legion of problems around customer service "would be a thing of the past". Well, the brand arrived last week, amid a substantial direct marketing campaign, but for many of us the service remains in the realms of the truly dreadful. It is not (yet) Sir Richard's fault that I'm paying for a 10 mbps broadband connection which hasn't worked for a month. Nor is it his fault that I was lectured at by a rude operative who blustered that the slowness was to do with "peak traffic on the internet" and what did I want him to do about it? To which the response was "give me a refund for misselling me a service which you don't appear to be able to deliver". This is not an untypical experience for Telewest subscribers. Exactly the same problem was encountered by customers in Swansea where their use was deliberately capped after 20 minutes, because, as an article in the Guardian's technology section pointed out, the impression that there is "unlimited broadband" is not always correct. I would be more impressed by Telewest if I thought I was trapped in some capacity-capping trial, but my suspicion is that it's more a case of technical incompetence. However, when I make my routine call tonight, or tomorrow, it will not be the surly, nasty Telewest I'm dealing with but the shiny, vibrant Virgin. Same old impotent rage, brand new focus. The competitive heat to be the leading broadband provider is quite extraordinary. Last week Sky produced figures which showed a high number of sign-ups, and a very high churn. These are facets, explained chief executive James Murdoch, of the emerging market for broadband and media services into the home. Sky wants to get rid of its bargain-hunting subscribers (though it's a brave company that adopts a customer-shedding strategy) and sign up people who want more than just the cheapest TV package. Murdoch says he is sanguine about Virgin, because he believes that Sky offers "better quality at a better price". BT makes a positive marketing virtue out of the woes of customers who have been lured by cheaper deals to less reliable companies. It is at the moment a market full of frustrated customers who are often confused or poorly served. Sky triumphed over cable in the 90s because it did not have the infrastructure issues that cable had, and its user technology and service were miles ahead. Murdoch will be aware that this battle is about to be replayed and to some extent the market is there for the taking. The unavailability of Sky Broadband will have hindered the company in the final quarter last year - when many people wanted that super-fast service for their Christmas presents, it wasn't there. In the troubled 90s, at one of the many cable and satellite conferences, someone piped up that "the cable industry needs a Richard Branson". Well, now it has one, but the world of reliable network capacity and high-quality user experience needs more than hot air in order to be realised. |
Re: Virgin Media News
Well I'd have more respect for the correspondent if they got their facts right, as Swansea is a legacy ntl area not a Telewest area.
When reporter make obvious errors like this it makes you wonder just how much research they have actually put into the piece and how much is totally made up. |

For all the NTL viewers who think that you will be get the extra Virgin Radio stations as of Thursday. You may not as Virgin Radio is not OWN by Virgin they are now own by SMG ( Scottish Media Group.) who also own STV ( Scottish ITV1 ).

Re: Virgin Media News
Could the new channel possibly be called 'Virgin Central?' This appeared briefly for about 24 hours on VOD and has disappeared again... I remember seeing The Office avaiable on it, but can't remember a lot else. It would make sense for them to launch with a Virgin branded channel, and an OD one would draw attention to their USP over Sky.

Here's a question, I have 10Mbit Broadband from NTL or VirginMedia as they are now, and looking at the new swishy website im noticing that all the listings for availability of services are now in "packages" does this mean that you can no longer take a single service from virginmedia i.e. telephone, or TV or broadband on its own ?

Virgin Central - which Virgin Media has said will be available on a free basis - will showcase content available on video on demand, which Virgin plans to beef up with major US acquisitions including Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck and the CSI franchises. By using the channel's interactive interface viewers will then be able to watch any episode of their desired series with full VOD capabilities. The new channel will be designed to make accessing on-demand content "more exciting and intuitive than ever before," the company said today. President and CEO Steve Burch said: "Virgin Central will offer a feast of hit shows in one place and is set to become the destination of choice for TV lovers. By combining brilliant content with the unrivalled versatility of our technology, we have created something that no other company provides. Virgin Central will make TV-on-demand the simple, compelling service it should be." Virgin Central will launch on February 20. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitalt...d-channel.html |
