Virgin media aren't giving out free V6 boxes out of the goodness of their hearts. It's costing them millions and they will almost certainly end the HD sport card sharing in early 2018.
It is not a co incidence that their own website says you will need - and get - a free new box if you wish to watch sport in HD yet no mention of HD movies etc - clearly under pressure from Sky or the FA.
They haven't been giving these expensive boxes out for free since... September? to suddenly backtrack......
Guess we will all find out come Feb!
Yes, HD Sports may go in Jan, but it's not the end of CS, or even close to it
