Virgin Media Box as Freeview box?

louise035

Hi all,

I am coming to the end of my contract with Virgin Media. After a great deal of going between Sky and Virgin to see who had the best deals, I must say I wasn't particularly impressed with either!

The man from Virgin Media is phoning me back in around an hours time to confirm the deal he is offering me (I wanted to see what my partner thought).

We will be getting full channels, Sky Sports package including BT Sport and 2 new V6 boxes, 200MB Fire broadband and the basic phone package for £92 per month plus £30 bill credit with free installation of boxes. I literally have argued and argued and this is the best I can find - I'm thinking it's not great but it's not terrible either.

My question is, do you think they'll allow me to keep my current TiVo box and have a very basic Freeview style package for no additional cost or am I pushing it?

Many thanks

I have Sky package (no sports but movies) and have 60% at @ £22.40


We have Virgin internet but NO tv at £23 a month (100Mb)


I prefer Sky and the new box is quite good- we got rid of the additional box as we have a fire stick upstairs.


I do not like all my eggs in one basket so I split my packages.

Do you mean you want a third box without a full subscription?

No - the TiVo is owned by VM and without an active subscription is no use - even existing recordings cannot be viewed.
