Just a follow up on this... I saw an Ntl, sorry, Virgin Media guy getting stuff out of his van this morning so I pulled over to talk to him.

Very nice guy and answered all my questions. I asked him about using sky cable and he said YES! its fine they can reuse that cable and only need the one as opposed to sky's two.

He then told me a few pros and cons of the v+ - the pros being better now and next with info, but the main con he said was that changing channel is very slow - taking 4 seconds to switch. Is this something people are seeing? I thought sky was slow to change!

He said he has been told that they are working on an update to make it faster, but has no idea when it might happen.
