No, it means that your cable set-top box can both send and receive data at high bandwidth. A Sky box cannot do this - it receives TV from the satellite but can only send anything back if you connect it to the phone line, and even then it can only send at dial-up speeds.
The two-way, high-bandwidth cable connection between your home and Virgin Media allows them to deliver far superior interactive services compared to anything Sky's platform is capable of. Whether they are actually making as much of this as they should be is another discussion entirely!
