Pretty good I would say you could always try the 1 month free trail then if it's not for you cancel it.

Hi mate, that was some good info.......NOT....

There are alot of exclusive films that are not on Sky Movies. e.g. Hunger Games and exclusive series like House of Cards and Arrested Development.

Cut sky movies and add netflix, saving maybe £20 a month, cut sky sports and stick with BT-Sports free on XL saving another £15-£20, then cut the Sky premium HD saving £7, reduce BB speed to saving maybe another £5,

You potentially saved £60 month. Pay TV is not maybe too expensive, you're just buying services you can't afford. Use the options Virginmedia offer to get most of what you want, we can't always have EVERY thing we want.

Its all about what suits each household and their needs but in our household as there are several of us and each of us decide what we want and then pay towards the bill accordingly but for some on lesser incomes then obviously people have to cut their cloth accordingly l would say.

l would also advice people to look around as there are always deals out there that can save some quite a bit per month.

Didn't say I couldn't afford it was just saying its probably a lot higher than most people pay because I don't have any retentions deals or anything, only I would consider cutting would be sports maybe, I like my broadband speed for obtaining 'media' from the internet and my kids are always watching movies. There is no chance I'd drop my additional TiVo either. Thanks for pointing out where I could save money though, I'll bear it in mind in case my financial situation changes

In the end, though, it's only £5.99 per month, and when you look at all the content on there, well worth it!

Unfortunately the Video Output options have not been fixed.

What's the issue with video output, if you don't mind me asking?

It won't switch between SD and HD. If you select multiple inputs it only uses one of them. Ideally it would leave the user to decide what they want the TiVo to do. The info button has the options as they should be but unfortunately somebody thought it would be a good idea to change them!

Netflix is very good but the removal of eight minutes from every episode of Hustle is awful. Why cannot they use the full versions? The cuts are appallingly badly done....

The cuts won't be anything to do with Netflix. They don't always get a choice of which version they can get the rights to. And there are many versions of any given show.
