Virgin Boxes

Who?Where?Why?

Hello, this is my first thread so forgive me if there is a better forum for this question.

I am looking at switching my Phone, Tv and broadband providers to just 1 provider bundle/package. I want to keep sky sports and movies so i'm looking at virgin and of course sky packages.

Now on Virgins website they say a V+ box is included in the VIP Package but they refer to High Definition as V+HD, So my questions are:

1) Is V+ the same as V+HD and someone has made a mistake on the website

2) Does the Virgin Package include Sky Sports & Movies HD channels

3) Finally has anyone any advice on which provider is better as internet prices of similar packages are between £80-90

Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give

The V+ is HD, although the amount of linear HD on VM is currently very limited (they basically have BBC HD, and some on demand HD).

The VIP package include all the normal TV channels, the Sky Movies and Sports channes (but not in HD), Setanta, and TV Choice On Demand.
It comes with 1x V+ box (HD/PVR), and one V box (no HD or PVR built in), both have access to the same channels/on demand etc, and 20mb internet.

For internet VM are pretty much king if you can get it, unless you live right next to the exchange for ADSL - you get 20mb connection to VM at all times (or near enough 20mb), however depending on how much you download during the day you may get hit for the STM which limits the speed to 5mb for a few hours at a time.

The other advantage with VM is that the equipment is always theirs, so as long as you're with them you're covered for any equipment failures.
