My package is:
30MB broadband Internet
Phone is free evenings and weekends
TV is XL with all sports and films
And I have the TiVo box also
Paying £80 bang on including the price rise we all had.
I think a few people and telling a few white lies but my package is the real deal.

Was this a retentions deal?
I think that's what I'd like to be paying. I've got the VIP collection, but it's a bit overkill on the phone and broadband.

It was as I was moving house so I called to cancel completely. I then mention sky was doing a better deal so when I move into the new house I will join them, the telesales guy was like "hold on a minute let me see what I can do!"
Next think I know I've rejoined and got everything I wanted.

I think I'll be giving them a call - that's a great deal. We may be moving house soon, so could wait to see if that'll work better, otherwise I'm happy to drop BB to 30MB - saving around £360 per year!

it is if you take the classic pack. Your DTR's may do the same as TiVo but they aren't triple tuner, no on demand, and less selection than M.
Still not bad price in reality though. seems like your pack is very akin to the classic pack just a few extras.
..... Your DTR's may do the same as TiVo but they aren't triple tuner, no on demand, and less selection than M.
......
We can still record 2 channels while watching a 3rd on each of the DTRs We don't care about On Demand at all, and have the M cable TV in a different room for any channel different from Freeview.
TBH there isn't that much on television worth watching most days, & when there is, it often arrives at the same time.

Oh go on then.......name & shame.........you know you want to! FYI, mine is correct. Not sure whether mines good or bad really. We already had the V+ and a standard box so when we took the Tivo, were they giving out a V+ with it? If so, should they have swapped out the old vbox, giving us 1xTivo and 2xV+? Seem to remember reading this was the case, but probably not!
Any scope to re-negotiate this do u think with Virgin:

One of the extra boxes they gave without charge is in cupboard, we don't watch hardly any of the tv channels but the kids will lose a couple of the ones if we downgraded. Any advice or am I getting such a good deal that there is no scope to change?

Fair point. Although our V+HD box is lying in the loft unused as we have nowhere in our room that it could sit easily.
XL phone.
60mb broadband.
V+hd AND tivo.
£64 odd, rising to a fiver extra so £69 which after looking on here seems steap to me.
I honestly thought £80 was a little high but looks like a ok deal
