Some Advice Please...

I recently purchased a HD TV for my bedroom... i.e for playing games on my ps3 and xbox 360... i have 2 standard set top boxes both branded as telewest... i have been looking to get the V+ service installed into the back bedroom, but im just wondering how to go about getting it installed as i read somewhere if you keep your existing set-top box you get it installed for free...
i have broadband, phone and tv from virgin...

but this was sometime ago i looked into before i even purchased the tv... if someone could shed some light onto the situation it would be great...

thanks

£150 for V+ install, i already have 2 standard boxes, im not to bothered if they want to remove the standard one i have in my bedroom to replace it with the V+ box...

Also atm im paying £91.25 on Service Charges... i do think we are getting ripped off when i see the VIP Package priced at £85 and its got better services than i currently have...lol

What services do you currently receive? If you're already paying 91.25 a month, VIP package might be for you.

Well atm i have these...
Telephone line rental £11.00
Call Display £1.75
TV Size: XL £20.50
1 Additional V Box £15.00
Add Set box Discount -£5.50
Skymovie 2, SkyMovie 1 Sports 1,Sports 2 £23.50
Broadband Size: L £25.00

Service charges £91.25

VIP package would get you

* Sky Sports and Movies*
* TV Size: XL
* V+ HD set-top box
* Additional V set-top box
* Broadband Size: XL
* Phone Size: XL
* Talk International
* Talk Mobile

for £85 a month, with your caller display that would make £86.75 a month.

£25 installation for V+.

would i need to get any new equipment apart from the V+ box?
also since i have 2 normal boxes will they remove one as i want to have v+ in my bedroom which has the HD tv and a normal set top box but i want to keep the normal set top box in the living room...

VM will supply you with an HDMI cable for HD if you require one.

I'm reading that you want the V+ and another 2 boxes? In that case it would be another £5 p/m on top of the VIP pricing.

MacmillaN · 18-07-2007, 01:49

no i have 2 normal set top boxes but if i get the v+ box, i wont need one of them...

IronMaiden · 18-07-2007, 01:50

Ah ok, in that case they'll swap the one you don't want with a V+ box and leave the other.

also would this modem be capable of the new speeds if i upgrade... Motorolla Surfboard SB4200 Cable Modem connected via Ethernet...

IronMaiden · 18-07-2007, 01:53

VM website says it's fine.

MacmillaN · 18-07-2007, 01:54

ok i might phone them up and see what they say...
thanks for your help...

DO NOT a bother with V+ it is buggy and not many HD programs on it if you want HD content i would go to sky...and yes i have a V+

darkm · 20-07-2007, 10:30

go for the v+ box, it is a better box than sky, yes a bit buggy at the minute and some problems with the content but it does have far more potential than the sky box.
