Before Sky Atlantic, figures released by Sky & Virgin suggest that about 2/3 of people hadn't converted to the 360.

I suspect that they would rather persuade (read harrass) people into voluntarily converting as they can they say that the customer chose it.

I wonder too whether new deals will become dependent on changing to the 360. A dangerous manipulative game to play as some customers will decide to cancel instead. By the time they've done, they will have been better off paying the TiVo fees. It might have even been more cost effective to buy out TiVo as they have stopped doing PVR's and moved into TV's

Not the normal type of unsolicited message trying to sell you something. Already had disabled notifications and marketing consent from VM
These messages are false advertising too. All Virgin customers with internet access are able to receive Sky Atlantic via TVGo to watch on a device or cast to their TV- there is no need to change to 360 to do so.
