Virgin Broadband + Eurovox = One off fee of roughly £150 (£120 Eurovox + £30 VM setup charge) & £11 per month?

Does this give you Setanta 1 and 2 and Sky Sports 1 2 3 and extra?
Broadband and telephone?

Apparently so.
With the broadband and/or phone, see what suits you:

This is what I have. £27 a month for phone with free weekend and evening calls, 10mb broadband and the free Virgin tv package. Then you buy a eurovox (available on ebay for £90) replace your virgin box with the eurovox. Basically the eurovox gives you every single channel avaialble on virgin.
Here's a list of the channels

That's the Virgin Media package I have ordered.

They're arriving next Tuesday to install it.

Shut it Chamber POT!
Well, I have Sky and Setanta at about £60.00 a month, my parents are changing their internet provided and are looking into a good deal all round - tv - broadband and telephone.
I thought it was time I started looking into it myself!
Sky means you also have to pay for BT!
Plus - you Victorian toilet implement ( Chamber Pot) I put this as an O/T!

Excellent stuff!
Do you get all the SKY Sports etc? and do you have to pay for the PPVs?
1) Is this Eurovov thing easy to set up?
2) Set up cost for Virgin?
3) My area does not support cable according to the Virgin site - will this be an issue or not?
Sounds like a good idea!

As far as I know, you have to have cable in order for the Eurovox to work, so I'm afraid it's a no go.

No the PPV channel is unlocked so you do not have to pay.
