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.

That's not what I was referring to at all. Sky Anytime does have HD material on there. I regard this as a limited catch up HD service. Granted it's only any good if you have movies on Sky HD as that's what a lot of the content is and some of other stuff is total garbage like Bio HD or occasionally more useful C4 HD stuff and Sky1 HD stuff but it is a catch up service of sorts in HD, however limited. Virgin does not have such a service at all at present. As soon as iPlayer brings it's HD offerings (any whatsoever) for catch up for 7 days it'll slingshot past Sky. I'm waiting for that day to come. I think this is a fair comparison just like I think comparing filmflex with the 2 box office channels and comparing VMs HD tv choice/more to sky's which is <100hrs v 0.
I know sky like to say they are reinventing the wheel and virgin and their predecessors don't like to blow their trumpet/keep quiet/bad communication on good services they offer but virgin really do lack a catch up on demand in HD section. When it does launch I expect it'll be wildly popular.
