Price for 2 x V+ HD boxes?

dynamix · 14-08-2010, 15:10

Have just phoned virgin to enquire about the VIP50 package, with 2 x V+ HD boxes, so we have the ability to record on 2 boxes and they quoted £122.50 does this sound right? An extra £25/month for the ability to record on a second box sounds quite excessive? Cheers.

For XL package £49 for box one £75 install for the second. £5.50 extra for second box per month.

The rest is the same above but an extra £5 is added for v+ subscription

VIP pricing works differently though.

VIP50 with two V+HD boxes would be £107.50 a month. Install would be £35 if having both boxes installed at the same time

Only looking for HD subscription on 1 box (which is included now) so price should be £103 for VIP50 with extra V+HD box (no HD subscription)? (£97.50 + £5.50 for second box subscription) or is it still £107.50 for 2 x V+ HD box with 1 HD subscription? Cheers.

It will be the price I said - £107.50

If you went for 1 V+HD box and 1 V HD box (and paid £49 to activate the HD on the V HD box), then it would be £103

Ok ben thanks alot

You'd be paying £24 extra for 50MB over 20MB and unlimited anytime calls over unlimited evening & weekend, don't know if 50MB is that important to you. (XL package)

On XL you pay the one off for the box instead of the £10 per month on VIP, and you pay for HD for any box in your house, not per box like Sky.

BenMcr, just off the phone again and been told for VIP50 with 2 x V+ HD boxes will be £118 because of the sports & movies package having to be on 2 boxes do you know anything about this? I am speaking to a person called Craig at the moment, if this is wrong are you able to supply the details of someone else i can deal with? Thanks.

Jamesh, the 50mb is important that is one of the reasons i am looking to leave sky and join virgin, thanks anyway mate

Are you trying to go for HD Sports and Movies on both boxes? If that's the case it it would be £114.50 as you only get one box covered for Sky HD premiums with VIP 50

dynamix · 14-08-2010, 16:47

Hi mate, i only want HD Sports & Movies on 1 box, the main box which should be free. Cheers.

BenMcr · 14-08-2010, 16:51

In that case it's as I said, god knows where they are getting £118 from

dynamix · 14-08-2010, 16:52

Yeh i don't have a clue, do you have the direct number for anyone who knows what they are talking about? If you do could you pm me it please? No probs if not.

BenMcr · 14-08-2010, 16:54

don't have one sorry

All I can suggest is ask the call to be escalated if they can't book it on correctly

dynamix · 14-08-2010, 17:12

No probs mate, they are really starting to annoy me now. Phoned again spoke to someone different, ran through the same quote, again this guy knows nothing about the Premium HD being included for free with the VIP50 package, also told me the call couldn't be escalated and that i'd be told the exact same price by a manager.

VIP50
2 x V+ HD boxes
1 x Sky Premium HD (free on main box according to Mark Wilkin)

£118 :S

It's on the intranet now isn't it Ben?

Surely the staff member can be directed there dynamix... ask them to check "The Boiler Room"... he should know what you mean.
