Re: As Promised, back too give comparison between sky HD and Virgin HD boxs

I had sky this am and now i have v+ and well happy.

The box didnt come with Manual and the chap didnt know how to set it to HD out, but 30 seconds with the remote sorted that.

I rang sky wanting to upgrade from standard digital and they couldnt do anything about paying £99 for sky + and £60 installation + multiroom cost , or £299 for the HD box.

Rang virgin pay £55 for 4mb BB, phone , XL tv , v+. No installation or box fee!!

Ive got it set up via my TV which is DVI -HD and the picture is not as good as standard sky on normal channels, BUT HD on demand from BBC with walking with beasts - amazing.

RAng to cancel sky and got a 10 min sales pitch trying to tell me to use by 14 day cooling off with virgin and if i cancelled i could have sky + for £49 free install.!! why couldnt they do that up front !, plus i here for that you get a recon 40gb sky +.

4 hours into v+ and well happy, only thing i think needs an upgrade is the speed to switch channels and the EPG still looks like a BBC computer lol!
