Any one with Virgin media?

[pokefast]

The HD aspect is not a bother for me as we don't have an HD tv anyway.

Another reason i'm thinking of going with Virgin, is the difficulty having all 3 boxes attached to a phone line would cause with sky.

I've been informed that i'd have to get 2 new phone points installed, and this ( and the £105 charge for BT line and the £60 installation ) fee is somewhat tilting me towards Virgin

[gatso]

there is of course this advantage to having virgin

Virgin TV sucks. The picture sucks. The menu sucks. The remote sucks. Its the suckiest pile of suck ever.

Sky TV is probably the best thing in the world.

Sky TV with Virgin Phone and Broadband is the only way forward.

This is what I would do

I only have internet with Virgin and can say its very good service and the only time ive had a problem in 2 years they came out on a bank holiday to fix it. However i agree that i think Sky tv is better, depends what your main use is going to be

Decided to go with Virgin and bin Sky.

Basically after finding out that Sky will install free a new phone line for new customers, I rang them to see what my 8 years loyalty would get me and basically it will get me a charge of £105 for phone line and a charge of £60 for a home move! no loyalty discount no nothing.

I think i must of spoken to everyone at Sky apart from Rupert Murdoch but they wouldn't budge so Virgin it is.

Bonus is i'm getting more than i have now, V+ box, 2 multirooms, broadband and phone, for £26p/m less than the Sky equivelent would cost me.

Maybe,maybe not.

I've asked around a few mates who have it, they haven't had any problems.

Did you speak to the Sky peeps who are on here?

(oh and Sky TV and Virgin broadband would be the winner for me)

I signed up for Virgin when Setanta was free with TV XL.  Perfect for ICC20/20.  Ofc straight after Setanta go tits up - that's how we roll.  ESPN not a bad alternative as I love watching baseball, if cricket isn't well covered this summer will just have to bolt on SkySports.

But I'm certainly not moving anywhere, the broadband has been excellent.

Yeah have bolted on Sky sports but binned the movies as no one watches them.

I may well have done, unless of course Murdoch is a forum member, in which case not.

You won't regret it at all. Hopkin hates Virgin and thinks it's the worst of the worst.

It's perfectly adequate as long as you can live without babestation.
