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.

definitely Sky. My Virgin BB is really dodgy - never had that prob with Sky. The same package with Virgin it is a lot more expensive - and i LOVE Sky's TV pause, and being to record a whole series as part of the basic package.


actually i really HATE virgin

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
