[ocav]

Got the update this morning! Overall impressed however Netflix doesn't run at Super HD straight away like my LG TV, it seems to have to buffer a bit

Netflix free for VIP and Premier Collection customers for six months. www.vmhd.blogspot.com

[denphone]

So let me get this right and that is if you are already a VIP and Premier Collection customer you only get one month free?.

That is the best news by far this month. Six months free yes yes yes for me any way

"New and existing Virgin Media customers can enjoy an unprecedented six month gift subscription to Netflix if they sign-up to Virgin Media’s Premiere or VIP Collections2. Virgin Media TiVo customers on other packages will be able to make the most of the one-month free trial offered to all new Netflix members."

But the small print reads:
2 Customers already taking the Premiere or VIP Collections package will need to re-contract for another 12 months to enjoy the six month gift subscription to Netflix. Limited availability. After the initial promotion period Netflix will cost £5.99 on a month-by-month basis.

Is Premiere XL plus Sky Sports and Movies? Sorry the VM page is not registering for some reason...

Wondering whether should ring up and get a new contract?

[paultrademark]

When can customers do this from? I've just re-contracted within the last 7 days, you reckon I can get this added on?

Doesn't make it self clear you could be right but the why would virgin give two fingers to vip and premier packs. I hope they don't do that because that would be very sad and make me cry

I don't know any more details than I got in the VM press release. Maybe Ben or Spiderplant can comment? I'm already a Netflix subscriber, so not sure when I should cancel my direct sub and replace with a VM one - no idea how this will work. With Spotify I started a new VM Premier account and cancelled the old, I guess I could do the same with VM but it would be nice to retain my customer profile and selections with the VM account.
Picture quality btw should be stunning

Been using Netflix on TiVo for the past few weeks (since the testing began) and have been very impressed with the HD quality. Makes up for on demand's limited HD selection but of course you have to pay for this.

and the extra good news is that Lilyhammer, season 2. starts on Dec 13.
