As I keep saying, the price of the Kids pack is not too different from the discounted NOW TV entertainment pack which contains extra on-demand content, Sky Atlantic and has the Kids channels thrown in at no extra cost. I'm not sure that Virgin aren't shooting themselves in the foot with the Kids pack.
