Is the M package offered when you keep another service?
 
Just a query about how M is offered by retentions, does another service also have to be kept or is it just to 'keep you on the books' so that would don't qualify for 'new customer' discounts in the future?

Also, is catchup (BBC/ITV/4/5) on M?

I'm on M TV with XL BB and M phone I believe you need another service to keep it. You have TIVO so I don't think M would be open to you.

If TV M is offered, the expensive £13.90 landline is required. As stated earlier, TiV0 and TV M are mutually exclusive.

You could keep standalone TV M+ for £12.50 per month, £15.50 with TiVo.

I have a V+ HD when I downgraded to M TV I lost my record feature and get basic freeview channels and catchup but having Sky as well that's fine.

Hmm i think tv m+ is not offered on vm without the £13.90 landline,in other words tv m+ is not available as a stand alone service with or without TiVo.

Crumbs what is this then.

[QUOTE=BenMcr;35274884]TV XL did used to be the only one available by itself. That is now not the case.

If tv M+ is available by itself i may well consider it..with broadband of course.

A few months ago a friend of mine wanted just the tv service he rang vm from my phoneline and was told TVXL was all he could have as a standalone.! at almost £30 i think a case of left hand right hand by the sound of it.;)

Personally i have never asked for them myself as i have bundled services,but if they were launched that far back you would have thouht C/S agents would have known about them,point taken though about the agents Kymmy.LOL.;)

In the end he went on freeview anyway.:D
