I assume that this is to encourage take up of Sky Sports, which is relatively low on VM.

I'm surprised that one doesn't have to take out a new long contract to get the sports discount, as they are obviously using this as a way to keep customers following their loss of rights. They can hardly offer broadband free for two years on VM

I don't praise VM often as i'm a bitter and angry individual and I hate pretty much everything in life. But yes they often do good things. But i always want more as i'm greedy and petulent.

But i'm honest.

Totally agree with you Harry well done VM!

I think Paradox means the five channels are Sky Sports 1-4 and F1.

No price list was given

Possible £2.00 price rise? The bit I've highlighted bold is interesting though!

Sky recently increased the amount it charges Virgin Media for its channels, so the cost of the Sky Sports Collection and Sky Sports and Movies Collection is going up by £2 a month (although Virgin says this is less than Sky's £2.50 increase for the same packages). However, customers taking additional Sky channel packages will not be affected by the price rise, which comes into effect from September 1st.

Only thing I can think of is the HD pack, so maybe those with that will avoid the rise??.

Or maybe something else is in the pipeline as both MB and theone still have DNPs about something. Dare I say the A word!
