It's a lot more than nothing, especially considering how much of Sky's 'HD' content is actually just upscaled SD on channels nobody watches anyway.
Sky certainly has more, but I do dispair when this debate constantly degenerates to a numbers game. Crap is still crap, no matter how big the heap.
Had I the choice, I'd be opting for Virgin any day, as I am more likely to find HD material I actually want to watch on the VOD service than on most of the dodgy channels Sky has rushed into service just so the gullible muppets can brag about how much
more they have.

This is delivered via a PC. Most people do not want to watch TV at their desk, they want to watch it in their living room (and they don't have a PC media centre set up to allow this, either).
It's just another aspect of Sky's blunt marketing strategy, which is meant to convince people they're the best bet because of the
amount of stuff they do without paying much attention to how useful it actually is.
