You can't blame VM for rumours not coming true!
If I post on here that VM are launching a 4K, 8 tuner TiVo next month and it doesn't happen it's not there fault is it?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Ok, to the point and no peeing about here - what the deal probably entails is that VM cannot announce the deal with BT Sport until the last possible moment as BT want to maximise people moving to BT Infinity broadband for as long as possible; in that respect we might not hear anything until tomorrow evening or even not at all - we might just find the BT channels on our V/V+/TiVo boxes on Thursday

No, but failing to communicate with their customers is, and this has led to most of the speculation.

They are not failing imo. There is nothing to say so what's to be said?
As some have mentioned they maybe keeping quiet as part of an agreement with BT over their Broadband offer....

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
Well if bt sports doesn't arrive or sky Atlantic or what ever channel your hoping for. Ring 150 cancel your services and take your custom to bt or sky. Simples.. and if your in contact wait till it ends and then go. Virgin might then realise they messed up

If they have nothing to say what do you want them to say?
All they can say is, "watch this space" and they get hammered when they do.
It they don't have the services you want then take you custom else where and get the services you want. If they say " your in your contract" then at that point start shouting.

The worry is that they haven't misjudged there customers bud for the past 6 months they have been pushing for people to upgrade to xl and VIP tieing people Into new contracts and also if you notice the half price deal finish Wednesday very crafty in my book and I think you will see in the small print that it says they can remove or replace channels without breaking contract so there are a lot of us that will want to leave but won't be able to

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
I dont think Virgin have messed up. You cannot blame them for trying to get the best price for the channel - if this is what the delay is over.
Even if they had it, do they increase the price of the XL package to cover it (which I would object to), or do they have it as an add on (seems the fairest way to me)
Either way, they are damned by some on here no matter what they do.
