Now that is good news!!

Hopefully the change will be automatic and our second TiVo and VHD boxes will automatically have the change made.

Definitely a good move and represents terrific added value for those with multiple HD boxes.

Virgin/Sky may actually get more takers for the Â£7 when it is per account.

I hope the premium HD automatically gets added to our 2nd/3rd etc boxes and it's not a case of us customers having to ring in and hope the CS knows this is now the norm rather than ringing upon ringing to get a CS who knows about it.

I can confirm the charge is being dropped, but I'd wait for VM to communicate it to customers, as they will advise how it will be implimented.

I'm sure it will be automatic, but we haven't been told any more at the moment.

I wouldn't 'phone up just yet.

Good news though

Is there gonna be ne more sky things happening @ the same time IE sky anytime ? sky atlantic hd? u never know apparantly there are contractual changes? ne idea ne one.

just been looking @ the channel lists on the differance between l and xl tv and basically xl is +1 channels and hd the more that keeps getting moved into L package, makes XL look less worth while, Has it only seems to be xl tv gets the price increases cant the price increase go on to L tv as well seen has they are getting more channels aswell that will give more money for the hd channels we want

@DF, thanks for your clarification, it's nice to know staff are already aware of this change. Just glad $ky are allowing VM to implement this change to their customers at the same time as they are dropping the charge to their own customers.
