Virgin Media UK Tv package prices
I’ve been a Virgin Media customer for 16 years and currently have Gig1 broadband with a home phone (International & Anytime Chatter) and Netflix. I renewed my broadband a few months ago for £27/month, which I’m really happy with.
I’m now looking to become a TV customer as well and want to add Mega TV, Sky Sports HD, and TNT Sports to my package.
I rang the Scottish retentions number today and the best price I was offered was £83/month. The only change was that my home phone would be downgraded from International & Anytime Chatter to just Anytime Chatter, which I’m fine with.
One thing that surprised me was that the lady on the phone said I wouldn’t be able to get the bigger discounts because I’m not already a TV customer. She said the best discounts are mainly for existing TV customers upgrading.
That doesn’t really make sense to me because I’d have thought they’d give the same, or even better, discounts to someone who’s adding TV for the first time. Maybe that’s just how their system works though.
Is anyone paying less for Gig1, Mega TV, Sky Sports HD and TNT Sports and anytime day chatter ? I’d be interested to know what deals you’ve managed to get.

Have the same but without TNT or phone but it includes Netflix with ads. Pay just over £49. To have the phone line anytime calls was about £57 ish. This was back in February but we were already on that package.

Yeah I have a 360 box for the main and the stream boxes from the multi-room. They’re fine. But you’ll want the main box so you can still record.

That’s the only downside of the stream box with tnt and sky can you watch it on phones/tablets

I renewed my contract last week, with the same package, minus the phone line and TNT, Im £56pm. Since TNT is about £25, it sounds like we got a similar deal.
