Re: Virgin TV Service
I'm beginning to wonder if VM have given up on the tv side. If streaming is the future, and recording is history, that makes their 'service' redundant. You can stream without a monthly sub from smart tvs. Freeview beats them on price for live tv.
The phone business is dead as everyone has mobiles.
Broadband, they no longer have a monopoly on fast speeds.
Maybe they are trying to slowly wind the business down and minimise losses?

i dont really know what they're trying to achieve. they need to get into bed with big streaming providers since they couldn't be arsed starting their own streaming service when it was new.
virgin have shown they can do that with netflix. they now need to get into bed with disney and paramount etc. all those providers are desperate for growth.

VM is doing fine things are in the pipeline, see it more as evolving rather than winding down.

Re: Virgin TV Service
Hi Guys, I just got new 360 boxes and new remote controllers, all is good and working fine, but does anyone know how I cancel Premier Sports via the remote? Or do I have to phone someone to do this, which I find rather strange in this day and age of all the advancements we have in tech. Thx

Re: Virgin TV Service
Just about every add-on on every platform can only be cancelled with a phone call
So for this one you'll need to call

They like to make the process as much work as they can, so you cannot do it online. Sky are just as bad.

The offer seems to be to anyone within a minimum-term, for the remainder of that minimum term.
Once minimum-term expires, so does the time-limited discount.

So, if Angus were to apply for it, it would be refused (or maybe be given for a month for 'out of contract' rolling monthly contracts)??
