Minimum subscription period

Is the minimum subscription period for TV packages one month? i.e. if I move from L to XL, I have to stay in XL for how long before I can move to L again?

Re: Minimum subscription period

Is that 30 days + 30 days notice though? Or is it 30 days then switch off without giving notice?

Also if you go up to XL tv make sure you're not entering a new contract, its not unheard of for someone to upgrade part of there Virginmedia package only to find out they're now in a new 12 month contract.

He was asking about going from L-tv to XLtv and how long would he have to keep XLtv before returning to L-tv

He was advised he wouldhave to keep XLtv for 30 days minimum, I was just looking to clarify if the 30 days was 30 days plus 30 days notice, or could he return to L after 30 days without a 30 days notice period.

---------- Post added at 11:23 ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 ----------

Om Sky for example if I add movies to my package I have to keep them for 30 days.But then when I ring up after the 30 days to removve the movies I will be told that I have to give 30 days notice.

So in effect its actually 60 days I have to keep the movies for.

Re: Minimum subscription period

After the minimum 30 days any change of TV channels can be done immediately.
