Similar for me but the break up (per their letter) is as follows:

Sky Family £3 (Inc. £0.50 for HD)
Sky Sports (1&2) £1
Sky Movies (1&2) £0.50
MUTV HD £1

Total £5.50 - puts me up to about £44 without BB & 'phone

Sorry, its app. £51, I'd forgotten to add in the MUTV HD (worth every penny)

I haven't seen it anywhere but you can bet your life it's 'absorbed' into the cost of your package.

VMs HD charge is hidden in the XL pack cost.

I liked the new virgin media advert about having all the football and being able to watch it on the go including bt sport in some broken down station. Unless they had smashing wifi in a village like train station I very much doubt he could watch bt sport there ...

If you mean VM and are talking about MUTV, then the answer is no. I took Sky's offer recently and that's overlapping with my VM contract which expires in a couple of months.

If you're not talking about MUTV on VM, then I need more info.

No idea but just wish VM would make up their mind to which Local TV channel we will get in Barnsley, will it be Sheffield or Leeds?

MUTV is currently only available in SD (and very poor PQ at that) on VM. Chalk & cheese in HD, but Paddy Crerand is still ugly.
