But going back to Sky their catch up service is much better than Virgins
Is it?? I don't have Sky but do you have Virgin also? that's surely the only way to compare!

How do you justify that statement?

I can think of only one current major channel who's content isn't available to VM viewers; Sky Atlantic.


Edit: Just realised how you justify it; You're a Sky user and want to run down VM and tried to do so without checking the facts.

Indeed and it could be sooner rather then later when that arrives.

Well thats just your opinion, but i take the opinions of some of the comments i've seen, not just on here, but by what i've read online from people who are in the industry, and from what i can tell, most of them were much more in favour of the TiVo v Sky box!

As you say thats my opinion. I was actually comparing both services as a whole :dozey:not just boxes. I left virgin because sky were offering what I wanted at a cheaper price. Id love to return to virgin but will only do so when they get all the channels and in hd that I want at at least the same price as sky. As I previously said the only thing Id like on my sky box that is on the Tivo box is the ability to record 3 channels at the same time.

Doesn't on demand make that moot?

Lots of shows can be watched there. i know, as i have had to do it recently. Quite a selection

Only a minority of On Demand is HD though.

Depends on what you watch really , for my tv watching I'd actually say the majority is available through catchup in HD.

I used to record all my shows in standard, because i used plus 1 and also wanted to save space on box. (bigger hard drive now, less of an issue on space, actually no issue)

I don't mind standard for entertainment (sport is only where I need it, or prefer it).

So catch up serves me well. And might use it more

Virgin used to have two USP's, Fibre broadband and their ondemand library. They now have neither as a USP and are actually being beaten in both areas.
The future looks grim for Virgin Imo unless they do something soon!

I think that being able to access on demand, and catch up TV, without the need of a broadband connection is a very good USP.
