Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
Well, I for one don't see what the fuss is about.
It's £7, the price of a couple of pints.
Pay it or don't, but quit whining.....

Threaten to cancel on Sky mate was never charged once for a call out when I was with them. Sky could drop the Hd charge to a fiver and it would make Virgin look a joke.

The trouble is people feel mislead, a lot of them have signed up to HD, because of the advertising " No additional monthly cost for HD"

For 2 HD channels if you only have Sports hardly good value is it. Virgin have dropped a clanger here.

Surely if Sky dropped the HD charge, then OFCOM would request that they cease to charge Virgin customers extra, as they have asked that the HD charge is fair to all customers?
Personally, I'm disappointed as I'd hoped it would be added free for XL and SS subcribers, but if OFCOM have agreed that £5.89 plus VAT is fair, and Virgin are charging £7, then I don't think that anyone has reason to complain. I'm not going to pay £7 for 2 channels, I can view the content is SD, and the quality is good enough to not be able to justify an extra £7.

But as I said.....that was the deal at the time. This is NEW. These are additional channels that you buy separately from Virgins current channel line up. NOWHERE does it say that additional, premium HD content would be free.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II
I must admit this is a deal breaker. I can get a phoneline with BT (£10), £77 gets me all sky sports, movies, and ESPN, and all HD plus up to 20mb.
I have been thinking and was going to stay. Now just dropped a line to BT to see about getting my line reconnected. Sigh..life is change

It does not say either that future charges may apply to premium HD channels and neither does my contract!
