More price rises

[pengedragon]

Most important for me is broadband speed and consistency and all the sport channels

Been doing my sums for a while and even with the increase I'm probably better off staying where I am

To get the bt channels at a reasonable price I'd have to get bt broadband, with the best will in the world that's not going to compare to vm broadband so I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face

I think I'm going to try and raise the cash for 12 months line rental to bring my bill down that way and look forward to the new tivo

The weakened Pound is now starting to weave its way into the costs of goods and services. Apple is the latest company to raise its prices. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...k-blame-brexit

Better tell that Andrew to those in their ivory towers who seem to think that the after effects of the Brexit vote would not affect them in any way at all...

Apple uses brexit as an excuse to hike prices ....

What a shocker, I mean, they must be really poor and desperate for money

A senior citizen have to watch the pennies

trying to navigate and find the channels you want is sometimes time consuming. some of the films are HD which the quility is great but then it's finding the links that work.

Live TV is like watching live tv from the camera on your phone pointed at the tv and despite 200mb BB you do get buffering.

It's only good really for old shows like moonlighting and airwolf which I own airwolf box sets anyway just saves me having to run the DVD player for them.

The picture quility is not a patch on VM and SKY's box and in all honesty the box hadn't been used for months would rather do what I do now and pay for it legit at least you get quality.

My main complaint with VM is the movie channels they do nothing but constantly repeat the same films week in week out. Hard to kill, passenger 57, harry potter movies and a load of others it's not like they leave them for maybe 6-12 months before showing them again it's like a 2 week break and they are back on again.

Do you not have access to Sky Movies On Demand through Virgin now?

The pretty simple answer to that is don't buy their products and watch them come down in price once again.

So how is Brexit a reason for £2 a month/£24 a year line rental increase?

On demand should have same movies that are currently on rotation on the channels.

We are talking about goods coming into this country which IMO will in time become sadly more expensive.

Just read about it from someone above

I have left VM (and all of its other guises) after being with them for over 20 years I have just had enough of their prices keep going up and up, so I have Sky Q being installed with sports in 4k , anytime calls, fibre broadband all for £65 a month , which works out at nearly £20 a month cheaper than VM.
The person who paid £150 for an android box was ripped off like mad, I Have just ordered a new box with the latest processor and loads of storage for only £60 from Amazon and it will play films in 1080p with no problems at all some footie is good only in 720p though but buffering is normal.

That was me that paid £150...Ripped off I don't know..but the company claim they have a team of people who fix broken links, store stuff on their own servers and give you a 1 year warranty. They give support to the boxes and use their own software with pre installed programs as well.

I sold the box on anyway for £120 a while ago I found it pretty crap

[pengedragon]

people rave about them but if i wanted to watch a crappy, buffering internet stream i'd go on the pc
