SKY has more channels but the vast majority of the channels on SKY that aren't on Virgin aren't exactly popular. Virgin carry about 98% of the UK's most watched channels. But what makes Virgin special is the 7 day catch up content from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. On top of this Virgin offer the most extensive On Demand choice available in the UK, especially now that SKY Anytime has arrived. What it means is whilst there might not be anything on linear TV to watch, you have thousands and thousands of hours worth of content you can watch at the touch of a button.

Personally I'd rather have Catch-up TV and On Demand ahead of SKY Atlantic, MGM HD, SKY Sports 3 HD any day of the week!

Don't let anyone try and trick you, Virgin Media is the number 1 when it comes to providing content in the UK.
