What do they do up the price?£3 should have been dropped not increased,Total suicide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I consider the increase to £5 per month will put the full brakes on new Tivo sales, cosidering that is on top of the TV fee then VM are playing a very dangerous game.
Tivo is good but not unique enough to justify £5 extra!

Well we shall see PC but l suspect Virgin might well have several aces up their sleeves in the coming months to nullify the price increases.

Den do you not think that it would be good of them to say what was going to happen before they stated the price rise's? (They could say X amount of channels/app's are going to launch)
Rather than the price rise's and see what may come?

I agree devil, it makes no business sense to do it the other way round.

Re: TV price rises
They can't announce stuff if they haven't finalised it yet. If they had, they would announce it immediately.
I think people are being incredibly naive to think VM are sitting on a warchest of new channels ready to pull out on special occasions.

Well, as per the Coming Soon thread, SKY Movies and SKY Sports HD on demand will only be available to TiVo customers. So if you have a VHD or V+HD box, and subscribe to the channels and pay your £7 HD charge you will sadly miss out.
Virgin will need to remember to look after their non-TiVo customers very carefully. I hope our non-TiVo friends have plenty of aces coming their way too.

And how would they compete?
Should every Supermarket and Electrical store have the same prices for everything?

I take it you are not living in the real world where competition thrives, you are more likely to find an honest journalist working for Rupert Murdoch than for that to ever happen.

That is called price fixing and is, quite rightly, illegal and is not in the consumer's interest.

Re: TV price rises
I will be cancelling my phone and broadband as VM just can't deliver a decent broadband service in my area. It's all very well them saying they are going to double speeds but they cannot even deliver on the current speeds.

Have you got a direct number for this re-negotiation mate as I have to use my mobile to call virgin and am sick of having to listen to 10000 options just to realise i could have pressed 1 at the begining.

Re: TV price rises
Wont cancel virgin as overall happy with tivo and very happy with internet but i find myself watching less and less movies so just may cancel some packages. Not happy with the constant bombardment of adverts on every music on demand video (how many times do i need to see a carling Chrome advert) so find myself rarely using that service now and since getting an ipad ive stopped using the youtube via tivo etc.
So happpy overall but will in all likely cancel some services/packages
