Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

I'm fed up with choice been taken away from me.

Virgin say this and Sky say that...The truth is Virgin customers are loosing out, no matter what Virgin say they intend too do..

I have missed my favourite programs now for a couple of weeks..24...Stargate..Battlestar G...etc etc,,

I dont believe that Sky one has dropped in popularity..and that Bravo has increased..

I do believe we the customer should have been asked first before the chanels where taken away..Telling us Virgin where not happy is not enough..

Virgin Media is of no use without Sky One. So today I have ordered Sky's High Definition box too be installed, coming next Tuesday. I have untill the end of March too cancel Virgin, which I will do once Sky is installed.

It's costing me £295 for the HD Box and £60 too install..I begrudge this but have been forced into paying this, through Virgins aragance and taking away popular Channels. it's the only way I can continue too watch my fav shows like 24 Stargate etc,

I was happy when NTLWORLD was in charge..weeks after Virgin took over, I had reduced choice. Plus there 119 channel is a load of rubbish at present.

I went for High Definition because I like too watch television at it's highest quality.

That goes for choice as well. Virgin took that quality of choice awy

So Bye Bye Virgin,,,Hello Sky

Err have fun?

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

Uhmm......you've missed your favourite programs for a couple of weeks....I think you will find that the loss of sky is just over 7 days old my friend LOL, that to my knowledge is one new episode of Lost, SG1, BSG and 24.

I could be wrong of course, I was never that good at maths.

be easier and quicker to download the shows your missing like everyone else

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

Thank for the speech, although I fell asleep reading it.

Guess what, your lecture does not convince me or anyone else to go to Sky.

Shame isn't it - what a waste of time.

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

I dont get why people write out these speels of complaining misery when they're leaving VM anyway. It's a pointless feat. No-one will be interested in reading IMO. I read the first line of that up there. It got blurry after that.

It's just a case of SSDD. Whoopee. You're off to get Sky installed. So are 100 People per day apparently. They don't all come here and make a post. It's just a waste of your time and the poor readers.

I suppose it might be useful for prospective Virgin customers to see what kind of issues they might encounter if they sign-up.

Underline "might" twice there Andy, it shouldn't be taken as Gospel :)

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

OMG - £350 just to watch Sky One.
If you're throwing money around, I could do with £50 ;)

Yes I'm glad he told us he is loosing channels. i would not have known that otherwise. i suspect some of the other stuff he said might not be true though.

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

Each to their own I say.........but £350 + monthly HD rental to watch shows on Sky 1 that only have about 2 weeks left to run and won't return until atleast Winter if not early next year is IMO abit expensive.

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

If losing Sky one is such a big deal for you why spend over £300 to get it?? you could have got standard install free from sky and a standard box for free as well. then got VM's V+ service ( a bit of bartering goes a long way, and you probably could have wrangled free install for that too!!) and had even more choice. Because you would have the high def & vod as well as sky one for little more than what you'll be paying now, but with the saving of over £300. Work that out over the course of a year and it'll probably have been cheaper. But each to their own and if this works for you then best of luck :)

Well if it's not such a big thing too you all...this thread got a lot of replies...

One thing I like too do, is write at places like this too find out what others will say..

I run several Motorbike sites and enjoy there banter.

But !! this one is a political thing between too M,,,sorry Billionares who couldnt give a F*** about you and I and that's really what this is about

Principal and choice

Obviously a number of you are just yes men...Maybe Masonics..They tend too be yes men...Me...I choose what I want...If someone tries too change that without asking...Bye

So my comment now is...You all just accept what they give you..Either your a slave or brainwashed...I'll keep my own choice

It's only money and I spend thousands on my main hobby...a Honda Firebalde...my choice....When I take on a TV package (what this Forun is about) I want choice as well...

What will Virgin take from you next...Branson wants too take on the Media and be the top one...just like Murdoc

All we have is choice


OK see how many read that...12 rread the first bit...must have been good as lads of threads get no hits

Re: Hello Sky (ordered today) and Bye Bye Virgin..
 

i cannot believe people don't have more to worry them than losing a channel or 5. sky one was rubbish no loss to me. if the only thing i had to worry me was the loss of sky one i would be a very very very happy man.

COME ON VIRGIN, BLOW THE B*****DS OUT THE WATER
