Virgin Media XL package. needc for more free channels to compete with Sky

We are on the Virgin Media XL package and we have noticed that Virgin are slowly but cionstantly falloing behind the number of channels offered by Sky on similar packages. We would like to see Premier Sports, Movies4Men, CBS Drama, Travel TV channel and Another film channel added as a starter together with some more HD Channels.

Comments

  • I fully endorse the comments about Virgin XL package now being poor value compared to Sky and more channels need to be added. It used to be pretty decent but has not moved with the times or try to be competitive. In my opinion the first priority is a decent free Movie Channel. Certainly CBS Drama, Travel TV would be worth having on the package, I am not sure we want any more music channels. Probably the biggest plus would be Sky a Atlantic although I won't hold my breath on that one!!!

    I'll always jump on and say more channels is better but I don't want crud channels, movies4men is pants as are all other movie channels they just play old Z-list movies, more sports = boring, travel channels the same + double, what's the point in having more advert channels.

    CBS Drama should definitely be on since it is a FreeSat channel, the others I can do without.

    NB that movies4men is on https://www.tvcatchup.com
