More about Virgin Media Sky Sports Fanatics Bundle

People who live in cabled areas and don't want a whacking great satellite dish sitting on the side of their house bust still need to get endless sporting action beamed live to their homes, should definitely pick Virgin Media's Fanatics bundle. It's got multiple sports channels from Sky and its contemporaries alongside high definition content and a wealth of other programming and extra features, making it a must for serious sports fanatics, as its name suggests.

The most important portion of this bundle is of course the sports offering. So you get Sky Sports 1 and 2 in high definition and you also get ESPN in HD, which means that virtually every Premier League game will be viewable in pin sharp picture quality if you have an HD ready TV in your living room.

Sky's standard definition line up is comprised of Sky Sports 3, 4 and News, which means even when there isn't anything on in HD you can still watch coverage and commentary on a wide variety of events from across the globe.

Aside from the sports channels you get an additional 160 stations as part of the TV XL package which is bolted onto this bundle. This has something for everyone; from kid's channels to music stations, from comedy to drama and much more.

You will need the V+ HD Box to make this bundle complete and this is an excellent set top box that lets you record, rewind and pause live high definition television. It also lets you watch a vast back catalogue of on demand content in the form of rentable movies and TV series, as well as giving you access to the BBC iPlayer so that you can catch up on shows you didn't record or watch live over the past week.

Phone M completes the offerings of the Virgin Media Fanatics bundle, giving you as many inclusive calls as you can handle to UK landlines on Saturday and Sunday. This will let you have conversations without worrying about the monthly bill and it also has low cost calling rates when you want to call mobile numbers or international destinations, so it's got a lot of flexibility without coming at a high price.

There is a minimum 12 month contract, but the Fanatics package from Virgin Media does give you the chance to make savings, particularly when you consider the amount of sporting content that will be accessible over this period.

It's cheaper than getting a season ticket to one of the top football clubs and it will make you feel like you are right in amongst the action, thanks to the HD quality broadcasts of live games.
