If you have the ability to watch transmissions not on the EPG, I believe that Fox News can now be viewed

As I understand it, you'll get one before Christmas and more news on the other at the end of this month.
Plus from 2017 you'll get 20 free BoxNation fights on BT Sport so things ain't so bad mate.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
I fully expect something along the line of
From January Virgin Media are proud to announce Box Nation is now free for all XL TV customers.
Roll on 2 weeks Virgin Media regret to announce a £5 price rise for all XL TV customers... Nothing to do with us forcing Box Nation on you, honest!

Hahaha yes! "we never want to rise prices but unfortunately...." This year many price increases with sod all to show for it. I got a questionnaire about virgin media the other day. I was quite polite to be honest but also said i hate price rises with nothing to show for it. At least in the past i could kid myself it was going up by a few quid for the sky HD channels or something. They claim the price rises are due to upgrades to their broadband. Since im on 150MB and during peak times I get less than 10MB and have reported it for over 3 years i dont really accept that as a good enough reason!

Maybe that's what the last price rise was actually for, so they can then claim not to have increased prices since it's addition?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
We received today and email, to say our bill will go up by £3.95 per month.
That's the second increase we have had

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
I wonder if BT are following the path of Setanta (and VM to an extent) and will also be adding Premier Sports & Racing UK to their sports package?
They get to offer standalone channels at a bargain price, whilst the standalone channels benefit by having many small subs to their channels as opposed to a few large ones.
Their extra reach may also benefit their advertising rates too.
