Free Virgin+ HD Box and 2 months free on all services

janntana

Hi all
You may have to be quick for this as there is a mess up on there website.
I have just recieved a free Virgin+ HD box, no installation, 2 months free on TV and Broadband with just £11 for my phone when switching from sky. You have to switch from Sky for this.
I have spoke to many agents and it sounds like a mess up on ther part, the T&C's on the webpage show nothing to say this is not valid!!!
Heres the link, register through this page and then make sure you follow up in a few days through the contact number in your accepting email....

Take out the spaces, good luck!

The £11 is for the line rental only for the first two months, the cost is £34 plus the £11 for the remainder of the 12 month contract

janntana

yes, but you get the FREE £75 HD box!!!
You pay £11 to sky anyway and about the same for the same package
Worth it if you want some HD action On your HD ready TV me thinks

Er no,you dont.
The box remains VM's property & you have to hand it back when you cancel.You got the HD set up free instead of £75,not the box.

OK gentelmen, its not free to keep!!
That is not the point I'm making.
I'm saying that you can get a free V+HD box to use when your with them for at least your 12 month contract, better than Sky as you have to buy it for £50 ish and then subscribe to the, just below £10 HD, package every month.
Next?

Hi,

In order to receive Virgin HD, you must subscribe to the XL package, and even then you only receive 7...yes, just 7....HD channels. None of the Sky branded channels are available in HD via Virgin.

With Sky, you receive a mix of 20 HD channels, regardless of what package on top of HD you have subscribed to or not, and after 12 months the Sky+HD box is yours to keep

janntana

And for those channels you do pay just under £10 a month.
That mix you mention does include HD film channles which you then have to subscribe to for the relevent amount for the movies channels that show them

If they're the old Analog box,doubtful they'll collect them since it's going off soon.
