I have subscribed to Virgin since they launched as NYNEX back in the 1990s, but it just seems that Sky are pulling further and further ahead that it is almost a no brainer - if you can get Sky then why stick with an inferior product which costs similar?
It is getting to a point where you could liken Sky to Waitrose and Virgin to Aldi, only there's no difference in price!

It's not really that much more when you do count it and not count the duplicates and the sad channels.
And you can relax about 3D, that'll be ditched within a year of launching - watch this space... When it does launch - are you going to splash out on a brand new 46in min size to notice 3D TV? Otherwise you won't be watching 3D.
And for the umpteenth time, Sky is not a superior product. Providing a few more HD channels, or even a 3D channel, does not even begin to make up for lack of on-demand content, lack of 3 tuners, unsightly satellite dish stuck on your house making it look like a box-crushed Millennium Falcon, winter issues, additional LNBs and cables required for each tuner / box, higher additional sub costs for each box, no warranty after a year, etc, etc, etc. Need I go on!?
Virgin are relative fledglings in the TV world and in time will become the superior brand, leaving Sky in the shade. It's already started shifting. It's a shame for those who don't have the foresight to see where this is all leading.
