What put me off going back to the darkside was 0844 calls to CS , two tuner and a lot of problems with glitches on the current Sky+HD software.

Trust me I have absolutely no huge desire to be a direct Sky customer, none whatsoever. When I found out the tricks they are pulling with Tivo it infuriated me. HD has only become an issue for us since we got a 46" TV at christmas, before that I wasn't that impressed with it.
However you have to spend your hard earned in a way that suits your family needs and I reckon this is a decent compromise.
It's never really been about cost, it's merely the lack of flexibility with Virgin's TV and it will be nice to have a bit more control on what channels we get, that's all.
I am delighted we will still be VM customer's though, that softens the blow of giving Sky money direct!
By the way the 0844 calls to Sky are free from a Sky line, and remember if you don't have a VM line the calls to them are 0845 numbers too!
