Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.

Can anyone tell me what package and price they're paying currently? i have such a bizarre package which i'm pretty sure doesnt actually exist??

- 30 meg broadband (so this is L broadband?)
- XL Phone
- XL TV
- Sky Sports
- £10 off loyalty bonus

Our last bill was £112.00 which i'm guessing is due to phone costs like mobiles and stupid premium phone lines like 0845 etc. It's getting way too much. i've tried calling up retentions but they're quite cocky these days.

i tell them about deals and offers with sky and they start bragging about broadband sizes with virgin. looking at the vip collection i must be getting screwed over here shortly?!??!?!

Indeed it has been a very good year Martin but somehow those prophets of doom lurking in the background will tell us something very different.

Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 6.

If a HD swap ever does occur it seems a missed opportunity to start the "swap" section on ch 161 with BBC Two HD. BBC One HD/SD on 161 would have made more sense.

Has any heard about the sky news HD channels coming not the rest of sky channels just the news channels (anywhere tv showing Alba on 164 so BBC 4 can't go 164 has well) maybe a mistake
