Re: Itv2 hd
Thank you so in truth they have not added much but have increased prices far faster then adding new channels.

Re: Itv2 hd
What the basic problem here is that VM are running a company, and they decide what they want to have, NOT the customer.
They want channels that ARE going to be watched, they know that customers are complaining about no existance of channels that want to be watched.
They do want channels on the cheap, purely to save them money, Sky are a business and not a charity, so cannot give channels away cheaply, VM don't like this, and this is why they had the aggro over the basic's, Its about time that VM board of directors put the customers first, as at the end of the day ITS US who pays the bill.

You've added services though
What I'm getting at, is the price per item hasn't gone up "massively", it's the fact of a £1 here and there, plus you've upgraded
Didn't BenMcr already advise you, that you'd be better off on a VIP bundle?

As i recall arthur the aggro over the basics also centred on the fact sky tried to get Living,Bravo off virgin on the cheap (carriage deal) citing the fact the channels were worthless whilst wanting top dollar for their own basic channels,sky of course have gone on to buy living from virgin media proving of course how worthless a channel it was.Of course in the basics dispute sky soon came back after much negotiaitng with a much more realistic offer for their basics.
So its not always only vm wanting channels on the cheap.

True l have added a service here or there but its not a pound here or there as its more like 2 or 3 pounds here or there when the price rises.
