Yeah ESPN on XL would have made me stay if they hadn't lost half their prem league games. I never get to see the Sat evening games

I've moaned on here but had a rethink my stance is this screw the Sky channels , each person will have there own circumstances. Let's just get back on track anyone know which channels will appear next. Are there more testing.

Well i have one V+HD box, a V box, XL TV (with SS and SM), XL BB and M phone with line rental, and i WILL upgrade to the HD premium package.

That'll cost me around Â£100 a month with the line rental.

Sky;

Sky+HD, additional box, all the channels, plus HD and ESPN, unlimted 20meg BB (which definatly wont be as good as VM), phone line with free EVENING CALLS plus weekends (evening is more than ive got)

Is about Â£106 a month. So im saving Â£6, BUT i dont get free evening calls, all the HD channels, or as many channels, BUT the Broadband is so good, i can take the other stuff.

So its pretty much the same, depends on if you care more about internet or TV. Im the former, so people.

Show some love.

VM broadband is superb.....unless you want to use it between 4-8 pm when it becomes as slow as Katie Price's record sales. And I'm on 20 meg.

This is like watching Cowell and Walsh battle it out

Is virgin's On Demand available on any other packages than XL or VIP? Last time i phoned up virgin they said it was only available on XL.

Catch up, Movies and Music on Demand are available for everyone. It's only TV Choice that is either included in XL or for Â£7 a month if you are on M/M+/L

Hiroki · 20-07-2010, 10:46

Can anyone link me to somewhere where it states that the Â£7 per box is Sky's doing?

I still say if Virgin hadn't have hidden the cost of the HD in the subscription charge then the thought of paying extra for HD wouldn't seem like such a shock now.

Still lots more HD for people like myself who are prepared to pay for it.

Catchup TV OD is available to all.

TV Choice OD is available to TV XL included in the price or can be subscribed by other TV packages for Â£7 per month.

What gets my goat more than anything is that I've built up a loyalty bonus years before VM took over. I've been on XL TV for less than a year and now if I dare downgrade it, VM will terminate my loyalty bonus of 10 odd years. That is scandalous.

I have not been told of any more channels testing right now.

Despite what your bill may say, there is no such thing as a loyalty bonus which is earned through years of being a customer.

You should not lose any bundle discount by downgrading from TV XL unless that discount is dependent on TV XL.

Perhaps if you would care to detail your Advance Charges from your bill here then the helpful people on here will comment on whether you would lose your discount by downgrading TV XL.

Well not here, as that would be off topic for the thread (more so than it already is)
