Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 1
Having just decided to cancel my newly agreed Sky contract and stay with Virgin Meida, I have to say that I am a little disapointed to hear that. Heh ho
I might add though, with the doubling of BB speeds they may add that they are all ready investing the extra money from the april rises into the service. Doesn't help if you only care about the TV but it may give them more business and therefore more money to invest in the future on a better TV package.

An Insider has today told me.
NOTE: This information is subject to change at an later date.
NOTE to all followers: Coming Soon to Virgin TV Vol 2 will launch by 5pm on Monday (April 2nd).

That doesn't surprise me.
Given that information then there's little point in launching Coming Soon Vol 2 2012.

What is the point of shooting the messenger, you guys only tell us what you are told in good faith . Whether we choose to believe it is up to us. Over the years I have learnt not to believe until I get a confirmation from VM.

OTOH they are increasing all our broadband speeds

If anyone's keeping track, how many channels have launched in the last year?

personally would rather have had new channels than upping broadband speeds carl !!!!!!!!!
Agree carl nothing was announced,But thought we would have seen something to justify the tv+tivo price increase.I really hope that wasn`t to pay for f1 channel ???????????????

Okay. Done that. Still don't get it Channels will launch when they can. I don't count the speculation in this or any other thread* or forum as anything like official and anyone who does is an idiot. Therefore VM have not officially announced any new channels via a Press Release, so again, how is this "bad PR"?
(* No offence intended, Media Boy )

Yes its great to have a increase in the broadband speeds but alas another price rise has come with it so thou have given with one hand and taketh from the other.
