TV packages
 

I need to save some cash and currently have XL TV.

No one watches too much TV during the summer here and the picture quality on non HD channels is fine.

I notice that the packages have changed and was thinking of swapping right down to M.

It looks like the package I am using is just charging a lot for HD>

I have a V+ box and TIVO.

Any implications for these?

Re: TV packages
 

The main thing would be that on packages other than XL there is a £5 a month fee for the V+ box

Re: TV packages
 

I thought there would be a catch.

The lower the package the higher the fees .............

So is it possible for me to have only VM Phone and broadband?

Re: TV packages
 

Yes, as my aunt has only that. She pays not much a month, and she has had that since November last year. They called her, and offered her a TiVo with M+, phone and internet for £35 a month all in, no fees or anything. She said unless they could offer it for £30 a month she would reject it.

Best thing to do would be to go to leaving them, that;s 150, then once at main menu it is 5, then 3. Worth a call. Be polite to them, and they will be more likely to assist in cutting costs for you.

it's always worthing calling VM to see what they can do for you before deciding to leave

Re: TV packages
 

Aye I will call but the info on here is good and I like to have a few bullets in my gun before I call.

I have been having a nosey at the packages offered on line for new people and I am paying to much for how I use it.

The internet is excellent though as the speed through my old copper line would be rubbish.

And remember if they do offer you a deal it usually comes with a NEW minimum contract attached, which they dont always mention.

Re: TV packages
 

Aye I know aboutthe contract it just seems like I would get a much better deal if I was new.

If I am paying what I am now then I should be getting more - higher broadband for example.

Do you think it is better to call during the working week?

If calling leaving us then yes wait until Monday now as they don't open on Sundays.
