Netflix just for new customers?

HI, I would imagine this may of been asked but I've done a search and I cannot find it.

First question - is the six month netflix offer only for new customers or is it also for existing customers on Premier and VIP packages.

Next question - If it is included for Premier/VIP customers then is the XL package the same as the Premier collection but with just a different name? From the list of channels that are listed on the Premier Collection it would seem that they are the same ones on our XL package

    It's for new customers or exsisting customers that upgrade to the Premier or VIP package.
    Be warned as people are losing their loyalty discount by doing this , if you want Netflix it's probably safer to do the free month trial via Netflix then just pay the £5.99p/m. You can still use Netflix on your tivo box all you do is sign in with your Netflix login details.
    Premier pack is not same as XL as premier pack is a combination of XL TV , 60mb b , phone and a extra tv box i think vhd.
    XL is just the tv with whatever combination you have such as 30mb bb , xltv , phone. This would not be classed as the premier pack.

    It's free for existing customers committing to a new 12 month contract without the need to upgrade or change services.

    Please could someone clarify exactly what the 6 month Netflix offer is? Do you get Netflix free for a 6 month period or at a discounted rate?

    Would be really interested in getting this if so. Have used Netflix briefly just over a year ago and really liked it but found the £6 a month a bit much in addition to my other services...

    It's 6 months free however if you're new to Netflix it'll be 7 months free as you get a month free from Netflix anyway plus your 6 months free from virgin. People on cf are saying that the code does work with the free trial.

    That sounds good. Do I have to call VM and ask for it or is it an apply online thing?

    Just been looking at some details as I've had Netflix for a while now and its only been for 2 devices at once but on the Virgin site it says "Enjoy on up to 6 devices

    Once you've signed up, not only can you watch Netflix on your TV with TiVo, you can register up to 5 more devices to your Netflix account. So you can watch on your PC, tablet, game console, smart TV, mobile or any other whizzy gadgets.


    Is this a mistake on Virgin side because it says nothing on the Netflix website?
