Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. II

[theslasher]

Its fair enoght virgin need to charge £7 per hd box but would have been better if they just charged the once regardless of how many boxes you have.
In a tec world in which we live in i feel its disgusting that we have to pay any thing extra for hd.Also in my case ofcom said virgin would pay that much for the hd why was cs or retetions not told thim,i relly would have not left sky if i knew they was going to charge that much per box.
I would only have been paying £6 more for a lot more hd channles then what virgin have my self as i said im on xxl broadband 2 hd boxse xl TV and xl phone isint that enoght money for them without me having to pay an extra £14 im up £100 per month then

I have Sports but not movies and was looking forward to getting HD on any of them but £7 to get just 2 of those channels in HD is way too much on top of what's already quite an expensive add-on package.

I'll be sticking to the SD channels for now which to be fair have a pretty good quality pic anyway.

Might consider dropping my BB down a tier and using the money saved to get the HD sports but will have to think about that.

Moving to Sky isn't an option as I can't have a dish where I am.

I do agree with the particular sky sports Hd issue you mention.

But honestly i think the VIP pack will still turn out to be the best way to go in the end for those wanting just Sky sports Hd. What i mean is having the whole dam lot(movies Hd to) will turn out to be better overall value for money , than adding things on an individual basis.

And for everyone in the end it obviously comes down to , you pays your money you takes your choice.

VAT rate is irrelevant when businesses buy off each other I'm afraid

Small but valid point

I do agree though that VM make very little profit on the premium channels and the new HD charge. They only do it to keep customers happy by giving them what they want.

Has anyone threatened to leave yet? and if so what response did you get?

[Digital Fanatic]

I'm sure VM would have loved to have put Sky Premium HD channels as inclusive (if you take Sky Prem SD) to the XL /VIP packs, but Sky's pricing won't allow it and VM can't take any more losses, they have to make some profit if they are to grow the business and offer even better services...

The alternative would have been no Sky HD channels at all.


TIVO is coming next

Customer relations are well aware of people trying this route.
