Hell will freeze over first. Sky is pushing its installation designed for shared buildings quite aggressively. They aren't interested in giving Virgin a leg-up, they are interested in persuading landlords that if their building needs a community antenna, that should be a sky satellite dish rather than a Virgin cable.
Virgin will get Sky's HD channels eventually but all Virgin subs will get access to them at the same time when that time comes. However if your landlord isn't interested in running the extra cables you need to use a PVR, your only alternative is Virgin, because the V+ service still only requires one cable coming into your flat.
