is M+ the smallest tv package

Chrysalis · 07-06-2011, 13:01

is there no free package?

M+ is smallest on website. But sky have a free package.

I don't think they officially do a free package any more. Although you might persuade them to give you the M pack if you keep on other services like broadband.
Are you sure Sky do a free package? I thought their lowest pack was about Â£20. There is freesat of course but that's not Sky.

If you already have a sky box you can get a free to air card.

sky have freesat but they dont openly advertise it. Thats why I am wondering if VM is the same, they have free channels if cancel M+. At the moment I am paying over Â£6 a month for tv I dont use.

With Sky you can have the free option if you already have Sky equipment for Â£25.00 for the viewing card or Â£175.00 for a HD box and card with no ongoing monthly charge

There are many more channels available than on the VM M pack retention deal , and if you have a Sky HD receiver a few HD channels.

Yes Virgin have M pack which is free bundled with other services, as you have M+ you can go down to M but you have to call retentions to get it.

yeah I am aware of sky guys and already have it in other room.

Thanks will ring rententions then I guess for the tv.

I think you retain or get given the M tv package (freeview like channels only) with a phone line. But as I dont think they supply the non HD receivers any more your probably not going to get that as a free service unless you already have the receiver?.

I took my TV service with Sky , they let me retain my V+ box with M pack free the recording features dont work on M though , to be honest I can't say I really use t now.

Dave9946 · 07-06-2011, 15:23

With the i-players etc free on the M package with virgin anyway most would'nt need the recording feature I'd say.

I have been on M for ages with the V+ and it recorded ok.

I am being forced to go M+ for the Tivo though
