Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

Hi all

Most of the time i am happy with virgin media, but looking through this forum and at the virgin media packages i feel i might need a change

I have tv xl but only a basic hd box no tvo
phone with caller display and pay a fee for any call lengths, but i might change that as i don't use the land line as much as i used to.
And 70meg BB

Advice please

I think paying for tv is a waste of money.

I watch freesat with a humax box and I prefer it over tivo. It's faster and has better catchup tv.

I'm paying £30 per month for 38meg bt infinity with 10meg upload. Got £100 quidco and £100 Sainsburys voucher so effectively paid £200 for a year or under £20 per month

Depends what you watch on TV, I got a deal with sky movies thrown in but I can't believe how crap it is will take movies off once my 9 months is up

Looking at the bundle builder on Virgin you could get the same as what you have but with 100mb internet and replace the standar box for a TiVo for £75 a month (plus instalation costs if any). If you drop the phone down to Talk Weekends it would be £67 per month.

Also the 100mb internet is going to be increased to 150 in the near future.

You could also save by paying your line rental in advance.

I think i will have to go through which channels i watch and see if any of them are on a cheaper package as the BB is now 70meg and thats plenty for me

Re: Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

Most packages actually come down in price if you move up the the 100/150mb internet. Have a play around with the bundle builder once you know which tv package you want.

How is it 1950's ?

My Tivo has channels, what does yours have ?

Re: Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

Streams. Don't have a Tivo. I watch what I want when I want.

Curious, how are you watching BBC HD, ITV HD, etc. live?

Re: Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

Who say's he's watching anyting live? If he watches what he wants when he wants it's unlikely to be live. Minimum 5 second delay.

From his post:

I took this as he can watch anything which includes live tv. I wasn't sure how you can watch *anything* via streaming hence the question

Re: Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

I can see that being the way forward. In 10 years times we'll all have 1gbit+ and I honestly don't see normal broadcast tv being around. I think everything will be streamed on demand and we will probably all be voice activated/controlled as well so we won't need remotes. (Samsung brought it out last year)

Re: Am i paying too much £73 per month
 

Already have voice activated channel changing via the Xbox One, it does work well but i would much rather use a remote than shout across the room which channel i want. :)
