After 'years' of random problems i got fedup with virgin and wanted a change.. I couldn't bring myself to directly fund Murdoch's empire so i went to freeview, the topup tv box £79.99
And i have to say, i've over the moon with it!
It does have some problems, such as small hard drive space if you subscribe to the topup tv, but they dont charge you a monthly charge to record, which is what i had to pay on Virginmedia, and i wouldn't go back until they done something about that!
If anyone else is thinking about saving some money, i would most definately do it, its a great deal, £79.00 160gig harddrive!
and for a extra £10 you get the prime content of other channels !
If you want a list of channels it downloads you can see on their website, i think it's going to be a serious contender for the premium tv market!
ALSO - im moving house shortly, does anyone know how easy it is, if possible at all to take my broadband account/email with me? I think they probaly do the best BB deal i reckon, or does anyone have any advice on this?

Glad all is going well.
just a couple of points to balance this..
This service (top up tv) is not avaiable in all areas.
To get the best from the service you will need a digital ariel approx £120.00
The box is now yours and if it fails you will need to purchase a second box and if that fails a third box etc etc.
Have you looked at the tel numbers to call for cust support or to top up ??..
If not please check as when you call them you will get a nice surprise on your next telco bill as they are not cheap.
The £10.00 / month only gives you a basic increase. Setanata sports £10.00 /month with £10 set up charge so for £20.00 / month you get loads less than XL package on VM.
When you move better make sure the service is available and the new house has digital ariel.
Moving the VM services ...Just call movers and they will advise..
