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. How many of those votes were placed by VM staff?
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.
And 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+?

I had the option of the V+ or the V HD box when I switched to Hd in March last year, I opted for the VHD as I do not record a lot of programming and VOD demand covers much of what I would want to see. I already owned a PVR which covers everything else. I have to say the V HD box has been excellent and for me it was the right choice, I understand that the TiVo software will eventually find its way on to my box, which will be interesting as the current epg on VM is poor.
