For what its worth, I'm an existing Sky HD customer (with Sports and Movies), basically the top package without multiroom ... I've just ordered Virgin 30MB broadband + phone line as its broadly same as existing broadband + phone (O2+BT) and I can get 6 months 1/2 price. However, I can get Sky 1/2 price for 6 months but Virgin can only give TV without Sky Sports and Movies 1/2 price for 6 months. Unless Virgin can give me the same for at least the same price, there's no reason to move. Tivo itself is not enough, they have to provide something of better quality (proper HD VOD on demand) for people to spend more.
