People think Sky are daft this 7 pound fee will have been part of the deal and only giving two sports HD channels was a good move.

everyone needs to calm down just a bit... nothing has been announced, and untill it is, people should reserve judgment till then.

I refuse to believe any rumors, no matter who there sources are... no ones, actually knows anything yet, despite what that may think.

all this speculation is just getting annoying.

Hom3r · 19-07-2010, 12:32

So let me get this correct, I have a V+ box (VIP package), I get the pay extra for the movies & sport channels, and to receive these in HD I have to pay even more? so well have sd channels that we are paying for but will never watch.

you may not have to pay more...remember this is all just SPECULATION.
There has been nothing official yet.. so do not listen to people telling you have to pay, we dont know yet.

sit tight and wait for the announcement, which will be coming soon.

Agreed but the seven pounds seems to widespread not to be true.

braysoj1 · 19-07-2010, 12:42

yes, but all it takes is one person to speculate this, then before you know it it is widespread, this is how most rumors grow to be nothing but a myth.

I am sure there will be a charge for the lower packages, but as for XL and VIP, we just do not know. Think about it, there had been other speculation, not just the Â£7. It has been Â£10, then Â£7, amongst many more.

Here's hoping when the official announcement is made, we will all be happy. But I just keep thinking to myself, we get all this free HD, and have managed for a while now without the premium sky hd channel , and now we will have access to them, people are complaining they have to pay... it does go to show, some people are never happy.

it the not knowing that the hardest part come on vm let us know today please

borrissey · 19-07-2010, 13:04

It is going to be Â£7 per box for everyone VM engineer just told me.

millsman · 19-07-2010, 13:04

If the rumour turns out to be true then this would surely make a mockery of their current advertising campaign of 'No Monthly HD Fee', yes I know that this does not say anything about the Premium channels, but if I had just signed a 12 month contract with VM under the provision that there would be NO monthy HD fee then I would be pretty annoyed.

On another note if the fee turns out to be per box then could you just add the HD premium channels to 1 box.
