It was a difficult decision but I have cancelled my order with SKY last night. They refunded my £10.00 today. I've just bin-ed the 2 viewing cards they sent me and I need to return their router. I have taken the retention offer from Virgin. I'm about to join the TiVo party.

Ultimately I really want Box Nation, and did join SKY, however with the arrival of SKY Anytime on Virgin, and the thought of having to use broadband bandwidth to watch the same stuff via SKY I realised it wasn't a deal that made sense for me. I'd be giving up way too much stuff to join SKY.

For now I'll need to watch Box Nation via stream. Alternatively I also hooked up the old SKY box at my parents house and the channel is working fine. They only live 4 doors away so I can either watch the action live with my Dad or record if to watch the next day.

As for the Mrs. wanting SKY Atlantic, well let's just say I've obtained Boardwalk Empire, Game Of thrones and Blue Bloods for her today whilst off work.

I've just been reading this post back and the following line at the start has just made me chuckle:

"There is a long story to this, but the short version is no."

Imagine if I'd posted the long version

Glad you are staying Chad.
