I rang up virinmedia today and the deal has fallen in.

We are losing these channel ,but what i don,t like is we are,nt getting money knock off.

So from now on i will have to go on the net and download tv shows like the simpsons,lost,etc.

Would Branson do the same thing if the tables were turned?

Shame that they don't cut the price for us, as we are getting less channels. I would be tempted to switch to sky, depending on how much the overall cost is, as we have several set top boxes.

Any idea when the channels will go?

Very soon the deal has fallen in.

People on sky will not lose any channel at all.

Sounds like they may move them from Freeview too

 

[murdoch]

Seems that Murdoch (not me sadly) is upping the cost for non-sky subscribers!

 

[michael555]

With the Government so hell bent on ridding us all of analogue it only seems right that they should grab these pair of money grabbing tos**rs by the throat and bring in quick legislation as only they can so that the proposed smooth introduction of digital TV happens at all ..with everyone benefiting with the best choices available

Yes i have NTL/Virgin digital and i have recently decorated and laid NTL access points in a few places under laminate flooring and only kept my defunct Sky connection in its original place .

That really ****es me off. Ntl have always been the single most inept, lazy and idiotic company to deal with, and now branson has managed to take away one of the only things that made it worth getting.

Nice one. Id say sky one alone was worth a few quid a month on its own to most people as it has real quality programmes. Sod them all. They wouldnt even replace my 5 year old broadband modem, which only runs at half the speed it is meant to.

I hate that company.
