If you continue to stay with Virgin paying them your hard earned money for a service your not happy with then when it boils right down to it your a mug.

It's not that simple or easy. Both VM and Sky offer things that are better than each other. I'd like loads of HD channels, but i want TIVO functionality.

I know you can split the services between the two companies, but for the best pricing, you're best having all services with one or the other. But sky's telephone package is cheaper than VMs and probably equal quality, but VMs broadband is better than Sky's.

Then there are repair costs, free with Virgin and cost with Sky (I know the threaten to leave tack that will be brought up with Sky). Then there is reliability and customer service. I can't speak for Sky as I've never been with them, but i know I'm very happy with VM's reliability and customer service.

So the Sky/VM decision isn't simple; it's a compromise for most people and I can se why people want to stick with VM but post asking for more HD channels. And I can see why people who's main priority is lots of HD go to Sky.
