12 months will give you are far better view of the long run.

Your spot on. Whilst Virgin are reporting a loss of 21,200 TV subscribers, and SKY are set to report 60,000 new TV customers when their results are announced on the 29th July, it's going to be a very interesting 12 months for both Virgin and TiVo.
I still think Youview, which should launch in 6 months time will have a big impact on both Virgin and SKY. Competition and choice are great. I wonder if SKY Anytime+ coming to Virgin soon is an attempt by Virgin & SKY to jointly muscle Youview out of the market before it even launches?
