    Is this going to be a better deal for customers?

    When Sky pulled the plug, VM were offering all kinds of deals to keep customers, I wonder if it's worth calling up?

    I have the lowest level tv package with Virgin. I'm sure that when Sky 1 was last on Virgin I had it, but I wont be getting back now. Virgin 1 is no real substitute.

    Thanks for that! Made my day as we have just moved to Virgin from Sky, as a cost cutting measure!
