New bundles
 
Just noticed that all additional outlets are Tivo now. Vip comes with two tivos

Indeed. You can no longer choose to get a V HD.

Re: New bundles
 
The VM press release says M+ is not longer being sold (as is More TV too) but on the website the channels mentioned under new Mix TV label seem to be the M+ selection. So the press release says M+ is being discontinued and not renamed but the channel listing (such as it confusingly is) seems to suggest it is just a renaming of M+. The way the channel info is laid out on the VM website is poor though so it's hard to check or compare. There's not even a list of All Channels in a particular package like there used to be. It was much better when VM website had a table with ticks showing which channels were in which package, each in a separate column.

Looks like VM sites are hitting meltdown with 503 errors on every page I try to get into. I managed to get a look at the new bundles but am disappointed to see that there doesn't appear to be a bundle that combines Phone/100 Mbps with 230 TV channels.

Just customise the bundle in the bundle builder.

Does the 'free' M pack still exist?

TV M is now Player

More and M+ still exist for those on them, but are now legacy TV packs. Mix is a new one.

Shouldnt my bill reduce? As I'm VIP + Extra Tivo.

Take it I will have to phone but currently have a 20 pound off for another 12 months which they will want to remove

We have the old VIP package with a V+ box and 500gb TiVo paying around £140 a month. Looking at the bundles the new VIP package is £120 with a 1gb TiVo and a 500gb TiVo. Is it just a simple phone call to get changed over? Also would people advise to wait till the new TiVo is out?

That's very nice, but it would be a lot easier for new customers to be able to compare the available channels side by side without having to download a pdf

OK, then it's also here http://www.virginmedia.com/shop/tv/channels.html - under 'Check out the channels you'll enjoy'. You'll need to click the option to expand.

So with the tivos as standard, it will be worth swapping to the VIP bundle once loyality discounts have ended?

We currently have Big Kahuna Sports and Movies Bundle everything in HD with 3 tivo 500gb boxes, 200mb broadband. We also have Multi Talk 1000 (which is £4 a month or something.)

Currently we are paying £134.24 but with a discount £18.25. So that once the discount ends that is £152.49 . (plus any cost rises upto then)

What we could do is go on the VIP Bundle (Swap out a 500gig box) and then have an additional tivo box, that multi talk for cheaper when the discount is ended factoring in the £49.99 for the 1tb box.

I make it (correct me if I'm wrong please)
£19 phone , £101 VIP, £4 multi talk 1000 , £7.50 for the third tivo?
Total = 131.50 (plus the 1 gig tivo swap out which will probably be £49.99)
( £135.66 with the cost for the year contract with the 49.99 facted in over the year )

Is this correct or I have missed something?
