Louis Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Virgin recently started virgin media service - the biggest threat to sky so far.. on sky one they are showing the following advert as virgin media has plans to scrap sky one from their schedules. The advert is sky begging viewers to ask virgin to keep some sky channels gOmlGnOwniw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Bill.. if you don't have cable yet... go for virgin media www.virginmedia.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Had some info on this a while back 'cos my mobile is Virgin. Don't know what's going to be available once we move (thirteen days and counting ) but I'd far rather give money to Branson than Murdoch!

Sickboy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Proper fucked off now. Virgin have lost sky1 & sports news. I usually watch SSN all the bloody time. Not a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Louis - Virgin are saying it's Sky that has taken the channels away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 just posted this somewhere else, but basically its both virgin and sky at fault, neither could negotaite a new contract:- "i watched the news about this earlier and it said that sky one will now loose 3million viewrs becasue of its failure to renogatiate a deal with virgin. In your virgin contract it says you are entitled to compensation if their is a major change in the service it offers. If they have taken away one of the major channels then it means they are in breach of their own contract. get in touch with them and you can get money back sorry, i dont have an email address for that. it was on the bbc news this afternoon though so watch it tonight and it should give you the address again. " sorry to double post but i didnt see this thread before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickboy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I saw on the news before that Virgin have said that sky 1 is not a major channel so this does not invalidate the contract. Wankers what is a major channel then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 sky sports and sky movies prob, but i agree sky one is a major channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The whole problem is that Sky want Virgin to pay double the price, but Virgin are arguing that they shouldnt be asking for that amount as Sky One has actually lost viewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sky are c*nts + Virgin are pricks = Some kind of hybrid media monster, this is a publicity stunt, I feel a deal has been done and all that remains is the PR to seal the deal. I sense a grassy knoll somewhere. ATB Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
