EDIT: Its free this weekend I’ve just been told…

It’s free on Sky. Whether it’s free on Virgin or not, I don’t know.

It’s free on Virgin here.

I wondered why I could watch Sky sports HD on my Virgin today. Although I get Sky sports package, I dont subscribe to the HD sports. I just thought Virgin had started giving it in the package, apparently not 🙁

I have noticed i have it, but can’t really see anything on it to interest me, As long as Eurosport keep the cycling i keep Virgin.

Had virgin installed today, the installer didn’t realise it was free this week either until I showed himthe post about it on martins money saving website

Is Virgin TV better than SKY ?

My TiVo is 🙂

1st impressions are very good
TiVo not as simple to use but does lot more than sky+
broadband is now 10x faster at 9.8mb
And get more channels (espn) and hd and multiroom for same price (this year at least)
This is coming from someone who had a huge falling out with ntl a few years ago which ended up in court
Customer service still seems crap though

Tivo is ace, we’ve had sky+ and virgin v+ but Tivo is far better than them all

ian1775 What do you mean by multi room?
and how much may I ask you paid for your package.

Cheers

Different box in different rooms so you can watch diff channels on two diff tv’s sky call it multiroom and charge an extra£10.25 virgin it was free
We switched from sky on a special offer that expired end august
Is something like £23 a month for first 6 months for xl tv pack 10meg BB and phone (line rental extra) like I said that’s w two boxes one a normal hd the other a hd TiVo
They also gave me £30 credit on account
After 6 months it goes up but I calculated same on sky would be £200 more expensive in first year

Yep it’s free. I knew nowt about it too. Only cos I bought a new HD telly yesterday (never had HD before) and was playing about with it that I found them.

Thanks for the info Ian1775 will look at that cheers.
