Moving Home with Virgin

About to finally get moving

Sadly new place hasn't got cable so

which of sky & bt vision is the better ?
I've been with Virgin for many years without any problems. my credit rating has been shot to pieces by my company going bust so am worried I would get turned down on a credit check


other thing is how can I record what is on the v+ box as children have saved some programmes that haven't come out on dvd yet from nickelodeon channel

I'd hate them to lose that!!

    Sky dont do credit checks.As to recording from the V+ Box,you'd have to connect it to a DVD recorder or VCR.Dont forget you have to return the V+ box or you'll be billed up to £250 for it.

    Many thanks for that
    question is how do i get it back to them when i am 100 miles away??
    do i cancel it on the day of the move or the day before

    the next question is how long does it take for sky to install?

    or do i go with BT Vision

    which is better??

    VM'll send you out a large pre-paid bag to return the box in via the PO.Sky usually takes around a week to do at the most. (mine took 15 days but that was only as I specified a date when I was off.)
  • well that settles the matter sky it is
    which is the best way to order it with the best 'perks'
