£32 per month

- 362Mb/s fibre broadband

Includes Stream box

Sky is £12 more per month, but for that you also get:

- Discovery+ Entertainment (worth £3.99)
- Disney+ Standard with Ads (worth £5.99)
- HBO Max Basic with Ads (worth £4.99)

* Plus, from July:
- Hayu (worth £5.99)

So which service is the best value very much depends on how many of these apps you really want, as the majority of people won't need all of these.
very useful post this sonicmaster!

As for sky atlantic finally coming i'll believe it then i see it! been about a decade of false starts with that one!

Re: Virgin TV (2026)
Hello all again, I am 80 years old and could do with a bit of info/help.
I am still using my V6 TV box as I understand the new stream box is not so good.

The wife wants to watch Take That on Netflix but it seems to want us to register/pay for doing that, yet very recently I could just press 204, Red button and screen icon to access the service.

Should I still be able to access Netflix with my old V6 or do I need to geta new stream box?
Any help most welcome. Gus.

The Netflix App still works on V6 boxes, so if you have a subscription it should allow you to watch things.

Disney+ Cinema now testing on Sky as an extra freebie for Sky Cinema customers.

Anyone know if this is coming to Virgin and, if so, will it be free?

Seems the next tactic, is to bombard you daily with on screen messages on how you desperately need to 'upgrade' to 360.

I've had to give my family a course on how to ignore and delete such messages. The advanced course wil be tomorrow, they can't wait...

If it produces a lower cost. Wonder why not. From what I have read ,can't see any advantages for me or for that matter any great disadvantages. Question how many channels stop you fast forwarding recordings understand channel4 is one.
