Sports Season Ticket offer

"Get the full range of sports with your Big Bundles We think live sport is better with Virgin Media, especially when you can save over 40% on Sky Sports and watch every Barclays Premier League game live this season. Take our new Sports Season Ticket and you’ll get the full range of sporting favourites: all 6 Sky Sports channels with 2 available in HD – plus BT Sport, ESPN and Eurosport, also available in HD. All you have to do is add a 10-month Sports Season Ticket for £150 upfront to any of our Big Bundles. Or add Sky Sports to your bundle from £27.25 a month."

https://my.virginmedia.com/customer-...on-ticket.html

Whilst this sounds a good deal it also appears to read that the HD bundle is also included in the price as obviously Sky Sports 1&2 are the only ones currently available. Is this correct? £150 up front instead of the £27.25 monthly sub plus the £7 HD sub? If this is the case will Sky Sports 3,4,5, F1 and news all in HD be added automatically as part of the up front bundle?

I have just had the Sports Season Ticket (£150 10 months) activated and there are no HD included

You can also add Sky movies for extra £7 per month

Here is that Sky Sports story again.

My Virgin insider told me this past weekend:

"I've also just been told the upcoming Sky Sports price increase, surprisingly its less than last year and doesn't affect every customer."

No price list was given

Well done to VM for offering such a great deal and fantastic price savings. It's a shame no-one is praising them, considering the abuse VM take on here for their price increases.

Sucks that they're doing this on a Monday night. I know people are gonna be looking forward to watching Raw for the first time in HD, but they'll have to wait another week.

Still. 5 Sky Sports channels in HD, plus BT Sports 1 and 2 in HD thrown in for free? Can't complain, can you?

Sadly my DNR orders are still in place can't reveal nothing yet but you'll like it, not a lot but you'll like it.

Am also glad my source was wrong about the sportshd channels although i sub to BEINsports i'm pleased that the vm customers with Sky sports will be getting the missing hd channels tonight.

As for RAW if anyone misses it inbox me i'll give you a link to watch it in hd quality.

Yes it's an excellent offer Harry, all Sky Sports in HD for equivalent of £22 per month for the season. It's actually cheaper than Sky so a big well done to VM from me 😃

I think that's all you'll get. They've included SKY Sports 5 in the adverts / promos and that doesn't launch until next month.

I meant live on TV in HD. WWE's broadcast in HD since 2008, but since Raw is aired on Sky Sports 3, Virgin Media viewers will finally be able to watch it every week in HD.

You've got a point about people missing it, though. Raw frequently goes past 4am, so if they reboot the boxes around that time, or worse earlier, they'll miss the ending of the show or their recordings might get messed up.

But yeah, it's regularly available in all corners of the internet, so it isn't too much of a big deal if that happens.

Have to admit, that as nice as WWE in HD will be I am still more excited about the golf. Other things like fishing though, do we really need to see THAT in HD? Is there anyway to find viewing figures for what's been aired on SKY Sports?

Why shouldn't it be shown in HD?

Don't watch it myself, it's not much better than watching paint dry in my opinion, but I can't make out why you'd grumble about it being in HD!

The sooner everything is in HD, the better!
