From what I read about the Premiere, the core is still the same legacy but has a Adobe Flash runtime bolted onto the top of it to allow "Apps" and a HD UI (but the UI still has throwbacks to the legacy screens - I hope thats not the case with the Virgin implementation).
Yes it's still the best at what it does on the market, but its certainly in a competitive scrap with Sky because of their marketing & strategy machine, not because its a better or worse product.
Because of this, I hoped (and still do) that VM would price it aggressively. I don't see Sky really shaking in their boots until the price drops dramatically.
