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

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
