worthy10 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Been with sky for many years. I like to review it occasionally to weigh up the alternatives. I have all the sport/HD and multi room. Phone , broadband with Sky. I pay about £90 a month. Is it a mither changing and is it worth the hassle ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the sport/HD and multi room. Phone , broadband with Sky. I pay about £90 a month. Is it a mither changing and is it worth the hassle ? Thanks pretty much the same, without multi room. Sick of virgin bombarding me with junk mail. Try to disguise it now so you'll open the envelope. Think I'll stick with sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 sky plus 3 multirooms and virgin broadband about 140 a month its only a couple of hours pay and half a season ticket Bloody hell! I begrudge paying £40 for Sky. Virgin broadband is the nuts mind. Makes Sky look like dial up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Phone sky up Tell them you are moving to virgin They wont want you to move Sky will knock a load off your bill Use your noggin I tried this and spent a while checking the virgin package I was going to tell Sky I was getting. Call went along the lines of; "I'm leaving for Virgin so want to cancel my Sky TV, Phone and Broadband" "Let's see if there's anything I can do Sir ..................... no there's nothing we can do as you can't get Virgin at your address" "Ok I'll stay as I am, bye" Probably worth a check on the Virgin site first!

desert Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 virgin is more expensive compared to sky, but i prefer the virgin service and the tivo box. we got a free v+ box for our bedroom and free installation. the broad band is insanely quick.

Gonk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 And if and when the box plays up (I've had to call them out once in 15 years, and not at all for at least the last 3 years(ish) that I've had the Tivo - you contact them and they repair or replace it - no fucking about writing to one of the Murdochs to try and get them to replace it. I've got everything except Sky sports & movies - BT Sports 1&2 are included, and I use Acestream or KODI for HD sports, and movies I very rarely watch or get from the usual sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 What size dish do you need for Virgin and is it compatible with my Sky wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No. Unless you want to get a Dodgey box I know someone who had free cable for 15years. A bit more difficult to chip boxes now that digital rules. And if you do get a dodgy box I doubt very much you will get more than a year or two out of it.
