YES THATS RIGHT KIDS A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY FOR A WHOLE LOT LESS CONTENT.
ANYWAY............I sacked the idea of getting tivo and went back to skyHD.Now I just need to keep VM for 6 months as after that the disconnection fees are greatly reduced.R
But I didnt realise how much I missed SKY-ARTS in HD. It really is one of the channels that bennefits from HD THE MOST.
Ooh and it also seems VM see fit to give some of there customer FREE TIVO BOXES AND FREE LIFE TIVO SUBS.......It seems the price of tivo for you and me subsidies 1000's of users getting it free. Now that is something I'm not willing to be part off.

I suppose the lesson is you should research what any provider offers before joining. I guess you wouldn't have known too much about Tivo's pricing when you joined though.
We have been assured more HD is coming so hopefully that will materialise but I agree regarding Sky Arts HD, we have been assured it is coming albeit about 7 months ago so here's hoping.
If you activated existing kit with Sky you may find you are not tied to a new contract so if things change with VM you may be able to easily cancel Sky and avoid the two subscriptions, just a thought.

Hardly VM's fault.
And a statement form the CEO that 80 HD channels will be here with 3 years IIRC is hardly a vague promise.
Simple anwer is if you don't like VM then vote with your feet and either go to Sky or drop Pay Tv.
And VM are not trying to sell to Sky Subscribers they are trying to sell to everyone. Why people think Sky Subscribers are the target I don't get, its easier to sign up those who have no PayTV than those who already have a contract with Sky.

80 channels could be considered a bit speculative as of course 80 HD channels dont currently exist but if it happens all well and good.
It will be interesting to see how 80 HD channels would fit in with VM's current pricing structure though. I have always thought that as more and more HD becomes available VM's pricing structure could become a bit of a millstone around their neck but maybe when HD is considered the norm that argument will wane and extra charges will be banished, I hope so.
They certainly seem to need to get their skates on to back claims like that up given certain channels that were announced months and months ago are still absent but i'm more than happy to give them the benefit of the doubt, for now.
