Certainly a idea chad,but can't see them wanting multiple boxes out there I would suspect over the coming months they will push TiVo more bud

Probably not but because it's now part of a multi-national corporation, Virgin may as well be UPC.

That was last year when first launched it was the only thing I could find quickly.

As I've said before, I've only got 4 months left on my half price SKY contract. If Virgin keep doing good things between now and then I can see myself making a return. SKY is a great service but Virgin is slowly becoming great value for money. I just hope they don't ruin it by raising prices by something silly like £6 per month.

I am starting to think that the fact vm are just a carrier and not a provider of channels it would work to vm advantage,this week it certain as and whilst bt and sky are fighting for content I think they will be fighting to get there services on vm

I can't see them doing that for some reason. I don't know why I think this but I just think it wouldn't be good for business at the moment. perhaps in the next 12 months but I don't think it would be as much as £6

That's what I think too. Sky has things that BT want, BT have a new package that Sky want a better deal on. Whereas VM seems to have the best deal from all broadcasters.

Spot on bud I,don't think we will see it raised that high but a price rise will come but if we see the channels included that vm are planning I certainly won't complain as it would be justified

Liberty Global seem to agree with VM stance on running their own TV channels as they announced not to long ago to sell Chellomedia (I think its called) there own TV channel arm.
