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

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
