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.

Indeed. 1 HD channel on VM vs 30+ on Sky, there's no comparision between the two. Sky outright will on HD and always will.

It's not just an argument over quantity though.
Sky show all the new Hollwood films in HD. Premier League in HD. Rugby, Cricket and other sports in HD. New US shows such as Lost, 24 and Battlestar Galactica in HD. New documentaties in HD. New arts shows in HD. Concerts in HD. News (soon) will be in HD.
Not what I would call crap by any definition of the term, unless you happen not to like all that stuff, then fair enough.
