The tests for this new channel is making to look like an TiVo only channel everyday. Virgin has today started its EPG. With it saying just ClublandAkaChilledNow.

Maybe this is the new strategy going forward for VM to enhance the number of channels available?? Presumably, red button delivery is more cost effective??
I'm really surprised that VM haven't started trying to aggresively force/encourage customers onto TiVo at this stage.

BREAKING NEWS!
2016 will see VM once again raise prices above inflation, this isn't a rumour but a fact.

 i think something needs to be done about the constant price rises, ok inflation does go up but these companies vm, sky, bt, ee etc are just greedy and one day it will all come crashing down on them...... we hope.

True however SKY are knocking 25% off customers TV bills for 10 months if they sign up to a new 12 month contract. Depending on what package you've got, that's a saving of around £17.50 per month. Not bad if you don't intend to switch TV provider anyway.

It's been a while since I took a close look at the latest Virgin Media prices and have to admit I'm a little shocked too. I used to have the VIP package plus an additional V+ box. My brother has the modern equivilant being Big Daddy with an extra TiVo box. Going forward that's going to cost him £136.98 per month or £1643.76 per year! That is serious money. Works out at £4.50 per day. Plus I reckon by this time next year, with SKY Sports and SKY Movies going up in price, the monthly installment will be around £140.00 per month.
Each to their own. I'm sure there's plenty of people who have these services, and think their great value for money, however I'm also sure there's bound to be plenty of wastage. 200mb broadband when all your household might need is actually 30mb. 260+ channels when you might only regularly watch about 50 of them. Phone features like unlimited weekend calls or talk international when 99% of your calls are made from your mobile.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2015) Vol. 2
I think virgin will try and get out of the tivo contract now lg has taken over, because most of lg use the Horizon box same as virgin Ireland, which can record 4 programs and watch a 5th one live
