Not sure if people already know?? But...
I've just rang Virgin to ask about installing a second box in the bedroom, and the lady said cos I've been a customer for a long time (3 years) I was entitled to a free upgrade from my usual starter package for 2 months!
She said I would get extra movie, sports & music channels. I've checked as I got off the phone & I have tons of extra channels (well it seems tons to me, gone from 55 channels to 100 :rotfl:) also got a few cartoon channels, Disney etc.
Worth a call!
Just remember to ring to cancel before the 2 months is up!!

This is true but it depends on what offers you already have..
I was offered it , then refused because i have another deal. All she could do was knock £1.50 off the monthely charge of £23.. no thanks lol0 -
Didn't realise that!
I'm only on the basic starter package, £5.50 a month, and don't have any other deals on my account.

Yeah we have two XL boxes. I want some free channels! It would be nice to get Sky Sports for less than the £25 they are charging too. I might get it then...0

How much was the second box in the bedroom. We are considering this, we are currently on the XL package.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

No they don't told me put up or go to sky.0 -
They offered us no discount at all. It cost over £100 for the box and then I think it costs £5 a month plus £7 a month for the TV service. Certainly not cheap. Think it's poor they didn't give any discount, especially having an XL package with them already.0

We are on XL,with a basic box in the lounge,Our son has just had a V+ box installed in his bedroom for £50 and then £5 a month-We are also considering getting a third basic box for daughters room at a cost of £30 and then £5 a month.
I think V+ box was a special offer as our area has recently gone through the digital switchover.If we wanted a second V+ box it would cost a lot more as offer is only for first V+ box in house.0
