Virgin Media

[edition]

Hi,

I' just after some advise on packages that are availible. I am a current customer with internet L, TV M+ and the poorest phone package. I think we pay about £32 per month on this.

We are after adding a box for our bedroom TV as we get very poor normal reception up there.


Also I wouldnt mind getting a box that records and was also thinking about Sky Sports..... What's the deal with Sky Sports do they charge on top for any decent fixtures?


Am I best sticking with virgin or maybe jumping to sky?


Thanks In Advance!

V+ HD box (record 2 watch a 3rd programme and HD channels thrown in) will add £5 per month with a setup cost of £50.

An extra box will add a minimum of £6.50 per month depending on which one you choose.

Sky Sports starts from an extra £14.50 per month for a single channel to £22.50 extra a month for the four sports channels.

Virgin are just bringing out new HD V+ Tivo boxes so it might be worth looking at them.

Do you know anyone who works for VM who can add you to their "mates rates" list? Mates rates is the cheapest way to get VM service, you get 2 boxes, phone line with all calls, and 20Mb broadband for about 33 quid.

I would offer to refer you myself but as I am leaving VM through redundancy in a couple of weeks time, it's not going to work I'm afraid.
