Personally, and for Virgin Media to be fair to all customers, I’d like them to give Full House customers £5 off not to get the kids channels.

I must say, that I drew the same conclusion, but I hope we are both wrong about that.
The number of viewers AMC is getting for this quite good channel is alarmingly low, and I thought that AMC would put pressure on BT to address this.
However, there are other considerations at work here, so let's see. To be honest, I am not as optimistic as I was, but still hoping for good news!

Not a children friendly house, obviously!

You are such a cynic!
Actually, the position is that the price rises have already happened!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Nah, paying comfortable less than I have done in the past at the moment
Got a good deal from vm and the sky go extra is a relative’s login so that’s a freebie
It’s possible that will be disappearing next month though and I think the vm contact is also up so we are approaching renegotiation season again – always a fun time of year

That's like saying that I was given information that BBC2 was to launch but the internet wasn't invented at the time.

We was offline since late last week as Virgin Media has to lay new cable at Media Boy HQ.

I think you may have confused people with this post, MB.
The UHD BT Sport channel commences on Virgin Media on 30 July.

4K Tv's can be bought from only a few hundred quid now. They arent that expensive.
