I left them on that basis. I thought that if they are willing to offer me that now, they should have been more customer centric in the first place.

To be honest, I'd rather stay with Virgin (I still think of them as Telewest) so any kind of discount would be a boon. /me ponders... That’s certainly a rather devious idea.

I played Sky and Virgin off against each other. Even if you're staying with Virgin, tell them you're moving. They were going to give me V+ for free and the whole phone, internet and TV package for £40 a month. In the end, I moved to Sky and got the full TV package for £40 and Sky + (and installation) for free. They're fighting so hard that they're willing to give silly discounts. In fact, Virgin are hemorrhaging customers and almost giving the stuff away for free. In the end I stayed with Virgin internet and got a discount on that too. Well here’s a tip.

Saying that, 24 could almost cancel out BT. Perhaps I should get the V+ service... although I'm not keen on the £75 installation charge.

I did it mainly so I could watch the football in peace and the wife could record CSI, Criminal Minds, LA Law, 24, Prison Break and all the other stuff that rudely interrupts my sports viewing but it does come in handy sometimes. I have both the Keith Allen docu and QT recorded and am watching QT now. Very good! I turned off my Telewest subscription and moved to the darkside and got Sky + a few weeks ago.

I'm sure some enterprising soul will oblige by putting one or both on YouTube, etc. I have Smellyvest/Mergin’Media, and am hoping they’ll have the BBC1 show on replay.
