I can't confirm or deny at this stage. I'd wait for VM to officially announce pricing.

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

Whether or not this pricing is correct, has anyone got a date for when we can get the engineers out to install one? Anticipation.....

30 days minimum, then you can change again. I'd wait until VM announce something.

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

The two things I found odd about this news is the discount for a brand new customer who has Freeview but that it's £50 more for someone without Freeview, how would VM know?

And it is exceptionally rare that brand new customers ever get worse deals with companies than existing customers, The Tivo kit is said to be free for existing VIP/Triple XL customers but a new customer pays at least £189, not to mention ongoing monthly costs although I suppose these charges might refer to lower tier new customers.

It still seems odd to me.
Must admit they seem strange to me although maybe Virgin is hoping everybody will upgrade there packages to take this offer.

Maybe they want to look after their existing customers and give them the best deal?

Having existing customers who stay longer and for some increase their ARPU, can only be good for VM in the long term, plus churn will be lower too.

Cindy Rose has already said she wants to do things differently.

Hope your right mate great deal if its true.

Just a quick question
XL TV £23.50 XL BB £20 XL Phone £12.24 = £8.00 = £63.74
But on the VM Website it says a bundle of Triple XL is £46.56 + £12.24 = £58.80

which price would I pay ?

Not 100% on that. Might be one for BenMcr to check for you. I wouldn't want to give the wrong info.

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

so this will be available in march? If so why is it being announced so far ahead of time? If it is in march don't change to XL packages until then guys, no point wasting your money until then.

The first is the non-discounted prices, you get a discount from taking multiple services.
