Sky Plus vs Virgin TV -recommendations??


Minitoots

Recommended Posts

Our SkyPlus box has finally conked out and we're wondering if there are any other comparable options - what's the virgin TV version like? We don't really need the phone line broadband options they also offer. We got Sky for the football /sport channels but don't know much about Virgin or any other similar options - any recommendations would be great!

thanks

We got 50% off for 6 months - but bear in mind it is just the basic package they take 50% off, extras like sports, movies, don't get the discount.

Apparently Sky are losing lots of customers right now and are offering all sorts to keep them.

Give it a try - no harm.

Our neighbours were given 25% off for a year...

yes I have, we have sky plus which I think is fab, have never had virgin so cant say.. I called up and said I was going to cancel as too expensive and they knocked off 50% for the next 6 months.. apparently they have loyalty offers that they offer to their customers but you have to ask for it..

I got 6 months @ 50% off the full Sky package so my experience is different to SCSB79's. We have the basic channels of Virgin in my son's room (as it is free with my current package). I don't actually watch TV there but when you are used to Sky's layout you may not like Virgin's as its quite different. It does have BBci though which Sky hasn't got.

I got the discount when I phoned to cancel.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
