But you are absolutely correct in my opinion. It isn't fibre, or satellite, or ADSL, or Sky Plus or even Tivo that wins susbcribers.
It is the programming that the particular person is looking for that sways them to one platform or another, and always has.

Again I go back to my comments earlier, I doubt many users of this forum are typical of the average VM subscriber. There is a staggering bias at times almost to the point of hatred towards Sky, the subscriber numbers simply don't back that up.
Have a look at what many people are saying on DS or indeed the VM forums, it isn't anywhere near as clear cut as that small poll you refer to.
By you own admission DF, only around a quarter of VM customers seem to require V+. A V+ box which has been around for many, many years and is WAY cheaper than Tivo. Why do you think they are going to shell out a few hundred pounds when they don't even seem to need V+?

There are plenty on here who bash VM and you know that. I bet if the poll showed loads would go to Sky, then you'd say it was an indication of what will happen.
I don't hate Sky, in fact I admire them in some ways. They are good at what they do. They have some underhand ways about them though.
