I added all the Sky HD channels and my bill was £105 a month. Now I add the HD channels and it adds up to £115, which with the phone is £131 this month, why has it gone up this month? If its stays like this I will have to cut down.

Hi

Don't bother with 50mb unless you really need it
Regards

Anyone else had a nice card from Virgin saying "Wow you're amazing" and stating that they will be bringing more HD channels along with a little guide on A-Z of HD?
I think it's a bit late however as the booklet says "Film4 HD coming soon"

How Come Sky Have Got Thomas Cook TV and Other Holiday Booking Channels and Virgin Media Have None?. It would be nice if virgin get those channels it would be a good replacement or sky real lives don't you think?.

BET + 1
Comedy Central Extra + 1

It might make sense to a degree, but how can virgin media possibly removing channels be a good thing? Surely virgin making themselves less appealing in terms of channel choice is a poor choice! I would rather not have BET and comedy central extra, what a complete waste of space!

Especially when 3 out of the 5 possible new channels that media boy announced are time shift channels.

It's not Virgin removing channels, it's MTV wanting them removed so they can launch other channels in their place
