Just to show we can all disagree - swapped from Sky to VM a few months ago, and would never go back. iplayer, additional capacity on V+ box, able to record 2 and watch another, free videos (XL), box owned by Virgin, so if it fails in 4 years time - then just get a free replacement (as opposed to buying a new one).
Don't get me wrong, there are a number of things I would prefer on Sky - HD (pathetic on VM), ability to use TV Eyes (and control box from another location), ability to use RF output (using HDMI) so able to split the output around the house, but overall VM over Sky anyday. And it is a lot cheaper for me, with more channels (Setanta sports free).
