    Heaveho, that is exactly what I have got, apart from £10 pm for the V+ box, and I am very happy with that. I am content with my BB speed, and very happy with Anytime free calls. After all, if you work out that BB on its own is £18pm and the phone line rental is £11 (approx) pm,,the TV and the calls cost you about a fiver a month!.

    yeah you're right hansi, i can't grumble with that at all....was just tempted to push it further while they were offering deals. I'm just a greedy sod.
    cheers

    mmm, just wondered how much they'd charge me for Sky Sports, must give it a try? If you have a V+ box as I have, would I be able to get SS in HD, providing of coure, that I had a HD set?

    yes, at the moment I agree, but if you have SS, are you sure you can't get SS on their HD channel?

    SS hd is not a channel listed on VM
