The way I see it Virgin will never be able to compete with Sky on content, so need to market themselves in a very different way and TiVo should be the anchor of this, unfortunately at present the price appears to be too prohibitive for them to fully exploit this new potential advantage at present and by the time they do, I fear they'll have lost that battle.

I've been looking at BT packages for telephone and broadband and they don't charge the extreme £130 reconnection fee anymore so that's tempting me strongly. I recognise Virgin's clear broadband advantages, but as speed isn't as important to me as much as the connection itself I'd be happy to trade.
