Personally, and for Virgin Media to be fair to all customers, I’d like them to give Full House customers £5 off not to get the kids channels.

I must say, that I drew the same conclusion, but I hope we are both wrong about that.

The number of viewers AMC is getting for this quite good channel is alarmingly low, and I thought that AMC would put pressure on BT to address this.

However, there are other considerations at work here, so let's see. To be honest, I am not as optimistic as I was, but still hoping for good news!

I wonder how much the price rise in Autumn will be to pay for it

Not a children friendly house, obviously!

You are such a cynic!

Actually, the position is that the price rises have already happened!

You have this...……….
Services: Full House, V6, Netflix, Sky Go Extra, ??

Your TV services must cost a fortune.....

[pengedragon]

Nah, paying comfortable less than I have done in the past at the moment

Got a good deal from vm and the sky go extra is a relative’s login so that’s a freebie

It’s possible that will be disappearing next month though and I think the vm contact is also up so we are approaching renegotiation season again – always a fun time of year

Media Boy Sources did reveal that BT Sport 4K was set to launch on Tuesday but we was NOT online on Tuesday.

Anyway no Channel number was given to us on Tuesday and also the launch date was August 1st.

That's like saying that I was given information that BBC2 was to launch but the internet wasn't invented at the time.

I think you may have confused people with this post, MB.

The UHD BT Sport channel commences on Virgin Media on 30 July.

4K Tv's can be bought from only a few hundred quid now. They arent that expensive.
