I'm fairly certain they update it regularly anyway, I wouldn't expect anything major or noticeable.

That would be a PR disaster if they just sprung it on customers. They'd have to give lots of notice to do it properly.

It certainly would, and if Virgin and Sky continue with high prices for existing customers, I can see lots of people dumping them due to the cost of living crisis.

I'm watching less and less stuff on the Virgin TV service. Most of the time it's just on as background noise so will probably get rid of it in a few months time.

Have I missed something? On top Volt package and seems I'm now subscribed to UHD Sky on demand...is this a new thing? Last time I looked, it was an extra I had to pay for.

If you are on the top tier you should receive Sky UHD on-demand content. I was missing out on this but a kind mod over on Virgin Media Community sorted this for me. The Sky content is UHD but not HDR.

Didn't happen. Maybe the payment didn't go through.

Re: Changes to Virgin TV (2022)

The disrespect shown to MB is just baffling. Like why type up posts like the above? What does it accomplish?

I've been following MB since he joined here in 2006 and his posts made me sign up in 2007. Thats 16 years of posts! He's a top guy in my eyes and I enjoy these threads each year as we discuss the never ending possibility of Sky Atlantic, or the stunning arrival of BT Sport at the last minute or all the discussions on HD versions of channels. Its been a bloody good laugh if you ask me as well as interesting!

So thanks Media Boy and if you can't share a source just yet thats fine. Better to keep good sources happy in the long run.

If you haven't got anything good to say either why not just put the smart phone down and let the rest of us enjoy hopefully another 16 years! God knows where we'll be then!
