Compare VM VIP to Sky's Top Package

VM VIP with Line Rental £89.50
XL 20mb Broadband
XL Phone Unlimited
XL TV + Sky Sports and Movies, ESPN and ALL HD Channels
V+HD Box and Additional V Box

Sky Top Package with Line Rental £101 (1st Sept price to increase by £3 - £1 for Entertainment Pack and £2 for Sports Pack)
Sky Broadband Unlimited 20mb
Sky Talk Unlimited
Sky TV + Sky Sports and Movies, ESPN and HD Pack
Sky+HD Box and Sky Mulitroom Standard Box

We all could say VM Broadband better than Sky and that each of the packages have there own perks like VM massive On Demand options like Movies, Music SD/HD On Demand - which is better than Sky and then you can say Sky have more HD channels.

So if you want to pay an extra £14.50 because you think VIP is not worth the money then so be it.

Stop trying to compare HD channels between Sky and VM, compare the packages you get - Sky HD offering - how many of us would/do watch all the HD channels on offer.

Some of us have contacts within VM and can get inside info and I firmly believe VM are trying to provide a quality service not quaintly
I don't need to do any homework Big Red, I pay the bill each month and the VIP package is no longer £89.50pm.
I was out by a pound the monthly fee for VIP is £92.49, here is my latest bill.

Did you read anywhere in my post directing it to YOU - ??????? No I thought so.

If you read the last 2/3 pages of posts you can see people trying to compare like for like services.

As you can see VM VIP customers still save compared to Sky - and for my prices stated - well it shows VM have not updated there website prices as it does not inclide the £1.50 XL TV increase and £0.50p extra box increase - hence my £2 differance - still cheaper than Sky.

It was a like for like comparison thats all.

If it was directed at you I would of quoted YOU.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

3 pages of HD channels on the EPG. Good to see VM deliver on their promises

Hope channel5 show plenty of their movies in HD. Also prospect of HD European football later in the year.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

Wow how nice of VM to just add a channel without fanfare, maybe a sign of things to come? I see that only two programmes are tagged as HD today Neighbours and Home and Away.

I have same issue with sound, can hear the background audio but not the main channel.

Edit:

Fiver +1 and Five USA +1 are also showing in the EPG.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

How much more of a good thing is it to wake up and find a new HD channel, so unexpected, but well done VM. No main soundtrack for me yet either...

nice surprise indeed.
