In order to receive a great deal for digital TV from Virgin Media you must combine that purchase with either home phone service or broadband connection, or as Virgin Media would no doubt prefer a package of all three. While many people have chosen to rely on mobile phone service entirely for their phone usage, far more people still prefer the consistency and reliability of home phone service.

As to broadband, one would think that a consumer looking for 50 plus premium television channels is also a regular Internet surfer. So when we consider the restriction placed by Virgin Media so as to qualify for their television service, it is likely not much of a restriction at all. That said we can consider various cable TV packages as offered by Virgin TV. Virgin TV offers three channel package options.

These are presented as one might buy a T shirt in medium, large, and extra large. The base price for a television package including the basic phone line is 11 pounds per month. Prices travel upward to 86 pounds per month for what is referred to as the Virgin Media VIP package.

As with Digital TV from other providers such as the BT Vision package, value largely depends upon your planned usage. However, if you have a household populated with all different age groups a Virgin TV extra large package is likely to be your immediate choice.
