Re: V+ vs SKY+
A similar comparison.

Sky+ HD is 320Gb hard drive, half of this is used for anytime. When it first launched it was a joke but anytime HD is kind of all right now if you subscribe to full board on sky.

Sky still only has those 2 tuners, so same clashes. Sky+ HD box is very good for both content (29 proper HD channels + anytime HD + 2 box office channels) and the codecs are much better than those used on BBC HD so on most channels recording HD doesn't take up an outrageous amount of space.

The EPG on Sky+ HD is only in SD so looks pants (so does virgin's) but people have been waiting a very long time for the HD EPG and it will be here soon.

The only downside of the Sky+ HD box is the SD picture is not especially pleasant. Virgin upscales very well SD, it just sucks to have only 1 HD channel that isn't even a full channel until March.
