Premier sports offers?
 

There is a lot of Pre season football games on Premier sports and dont have it at the moment.

so do Virgin do any offers for it or is it just the full price of £9.99 month for it?

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

It just £8 with Virgin but you will need to keep it for 30days.

I have not seen any offers.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

If you take this channel for a month does it get added straight away?

Also is it better to phone rather than add via online account?

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

It was on under an hour when I order Premier.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

Thanks Media Boy, appreciated - did you phone?

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

Did it via the red button on my old V box .

I do not know if you can order via TV Uprades on TiVo.

If you can:

1) Press Home
2) Go to Apps and Games
3) Go to All Apps
4) Go to TV Uprades and press OK
5) Go to Sport
6) Go to Premier Sports and press OK

if not just call 150 on your phone.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

Looks like I have to phone, thanks for your help.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

I did it via V6 box with no problems and was on within a few minutes.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

No idea why but I cannot make any changes via the Tivo or online. Not a problem though as it was already on when I got off the phone.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

From experience, adding PS is not a problem, cancelling it however is a different story.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

What problem did you have when you went to cancel it?

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

With VM you should have no problem as you are not dealing with Premier Sports

I've opted in and out of many channels on VM with no issue

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

If it is controlled by Virgin, there shouldn't be a problem. When I had it thru Sky you paid PS direct by DD - hence problem cancelling it.

Might be tempted myself next summer for the NRL - is it now HD?

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

not on VM

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

£8 pm for SD - not such a good deal IMO

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

I changed my mind and ordered it. Around 8 -10 weeks left of the NRL, the odd football friendly is a bonus.

Will decide during this time if it is worth it.

After this I will want to cancel, do I have to give 30 days notice or can I cancel immediately after the initial 30 days?

Wow - that was efficient, straight from previous post, tried PS and it was there.

Just set recordings of NRL and ICC football for the weekend.

Just hope picture quality is bearable on a big screen.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

AFAIK, You have to give 30 days notice.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

Received an email saying I had changed my package and the new price is £129.99 pm.

Nearly had heart failure as pre adding Prem Spts it was £85pm (new starter offer)

Rang them up to be told this was an error phew!

It transpires Prem Spts is £9.99pm not £8 and you have to ring up to cancel giving 30 days notice.

Put note in my diary to do so on 4th Sept as NRL Grand Final is 1st October.

Is Premier Sports still owned by Setanta?

I'm wondering if it (or a derivative of it) are going FTA.

A new sports channel is said to be launching on one of the temporary Freeview muxes on 31/8/17.

It is to be called 'Freesports' and designed "to bring all your favourite sports to Freeview".

Setenta are believed to be behind this. Aren't they owned by Eir Sports now?

Not sure if VM will pick this up.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

I believe it is still owned by Setanta (I think Setanta uk went bust years ago),

The head office address is in the same building. I had it for a while whilst a sky subscriber, you had to deal with them not sky for cancellations - absolute nightmare.

Hopefully, cancelling via Virgin will be as easy as subscribing was.

More info. courtesy of MB:

I wonder if Premier Media is a trading name for Setanta?? They might have wanted to distance themselves from Setanta UK following its collapse.

Re: Premier sports offers?
 

I've established that, although owned by Premier Media/Setanta, Freesports will be separate to Premier Sports which won't be going FTA.
