Re: TIVO-Do you think it will win over Sky subscribers?

Have had SKY for 8 years... have SKY+ now but haven't upgraded to HD as I have only just purchased a HD TV...

Have 20MB Broadband with virgin, and telephone with BT... Am paying just over £100 a month for these sevices, without Movies and ESPN which I now want...

Can't get fast Broadband with SKY in my area so changing my provider from Virgin is a definite no... Also I like the idea of TV on demand but can't get through sky because it also not available ...

I have been quoted by Virgin £103.00 for what sounds like the VIP Package. (160 Channels, Movies and Sports, and 50 MB BB and XL Telephone..

If I want to upgrade my TV package with Sky to HD, all Sport, ESPN and Movies they want £80 a month, and this not including my broad band and telephone... which works out about another £55.00..

This is without getting into Tivo.... Which I like mainly for the 1TB Hard Drive.. So thats £150 extra compared to £250 if I want 1TB with SKY..

It seems like a quite obvious choice but am I missing something apart from SKY Atlantic and a few HD Channels...

Also there is the small task of trying to convince the wife who is not as keen, just because she is used to Sky and likes it..
Sounds like VIP50 which is our top package deal, currently.

Take the Mrs down to your local VM store and have a play. What I would say is, check that we carry all of her/your favourite channels on the VM website, just in case there is something we don't carry.
