Exactly. From what I understand of their t&c's, they are free to force people to swap over and, if they won't, they can terminate their TV service.
It's utter nonsense about those who don' t want to move to this inferior box causing price increases. Virgin will charge the maximum of what the market (or an individual) is prepared to pay regardless of any other costs.
I am assuming that staff are incentivised to get people to change as there have been more reports that, upon recontracting, the 360 has never been mentioned and then one of it's remote controls is received in the post. If people ignore it and don't download the 360 software, after five days it's done automatically.
Anyone affected by this sly/manipulative trick was advised to contact Virgin to get it cancelled. Mind you, saying that there are numerous reports that it's impossible to get through to a human to do so!
