Virgin Media is giving millions of customers a free TV upgrade with 15 extra channels – check your box now
VIRGIN Media customers can get their hands on 15 new channels at no extra cost - but only for this month.
The broadcaster is offering up more than a dozen "premium Asian TV channels" fit with the latest Indian films, dramas and comedies in celebration of Diwali.
Diwali, India's biggest and most celebrated holiday of the year, is a festival of lights that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness.
The buffet of channels would usually cost an additional £12 per month.
But from now until 20 November, they won't cost customers a penny.
As part of the package, TV viewers will get access to a raft of channels such as SONY TV HD, Zee TV HD and Utsav Gold HD.
