Let me see.......
1. Virgin 1 lots more first run content than Sky1 and lots more home commissions.
2. Setanta sports.
3. Setanta sports news.
4. About 2 thousand more hours of VOD and it's still growing. Including some HD series too.
5. Broadband upgrades and another two coming soon 50meg is coming soon and 4 meg customers get a free upgrade to 10meg.
6. Aresenal tv, Liverpool tv.
7. Free music videos on demand!
So quite a lot actually. Lot's more than ever just having Sky basics  |
Cor! If it was that good why did I ever move away?
Oh yeah! I just remembered and wishing to rain on your parade ........
1. It's been ages since the launch and two prestige wide screen offerings have been castrated into an unatural 14.9:1 in a 4.3 frame aspect because Virgins high profile Sky1 replacement is
STILL a DEDICATED 4.3 CHANNEL.
2. I see lots of complaints about aspect and PQ issues regarding Setanta on VM. Can't say it's any better on Sky as I don't subscribe but I don't recall seeing complaints about it on the Sky Forums.
3. Not a sporty person so couldn't give a monkeys. Sorry.
4. Could very rarely access it. Series and Eps seemed to disappear and reappear without any logical pattern. Many series were incomplete. Catchup TV was mostly unavailable or unpopulated.
5. Over contended in many areas,
STM, off shored support,
Phorm, lack of network maintenace and upgrades.
6. Not a sporty person, hate football, so couldn't give a monkeys. Sorry.
7. Was always unavailable, not that I tried too hard.
