If I've not heard anything concrete about the channel coming to Virgin by the 09th October then I'm off to SKY. SKY assured me install will only take 4 or 5 days so I'll call them on the 09th, pay my £10.00 and hey presto Box Nation.
Seeing Premier Sports which launched 16 months ago never appeared on Virgin, I've got fears about Box Nation and other future channel launches. Whilst catch-up TV and broadband from Virgin are great I've finally realised I've been accepting second best on the TV front now for sometime.
I've been incredibly loyal and always trusted Virgin to come good in the end however their deals to secure new linear channels always crawl on at a turtles pace whilst 99% of the time the channels are on SKY from launch. I really shouldn't moan at Virgin. As a customer I have a choice of provider. I'm just disappointed in myself for giving Virgin the benefit of the doubt for so long.
I took a new 12 month contract when I upgraded to SKY Sports and SKY Movies HD last August. I think it's absolutely incredible that since Virgin first announced on the 04th June 2010 that SKY Anytime would be coming to Virgin it still hasn't launched. It might be on the horizon but that's 16 months. I've both entered into a new contact, and it has expired during this period!
