Back on Virgin!

So i ditched the TV around 4 years ago, but I have changed my ways and get VM back. Box arrived Saturday (2nd June).

I like the look of the V6 box. It is small and tidy. Only downfall is that I run the box via my new Yamaha AV reciever, but as the TV is not 4k, it had a HDCP 2.2 error, so i needed to plug it straight into the TV and use an Optical cable.

I thought the software may be different to the V box i had all them years ago, but it seems faster. I am disappointed that if you watch a SD channel, there is no option to jump to the HD Version. Thought I hear the V boxes do?

On to the package.....

I started off on the Player pack, with Sky Sports + HD and Sky Cinema for half price (6 months). Then realised it had no On-Demand, so upgraded to Mix TV a day later, paying £67.62 until Dec, then £87.25 after.

This morning, I thought i would try my luck at getting the Full House, with Sky Sports and Cinema both HD without a 2nd box. I am now paying less (£63.37) until Dec, but would end up paying more (£98) after Dec.

What is the likelihood of them keeping my monthly cost the same when i call back in Dec?

Has anyone had this?

Cheers
