Channels wise, overall, Sky beat VM, both in variety and the number or HD channels. Simple.

Whether that is the case for the channels your family watches, only you can decide.

But does box functionality make a difference to you? Tivo has got some great extras over Sky HD boxes. I'd NEVER want to use a box without Whishlists, as I find them not only useful, but save me loads of time in that I don't have to monitor EPGs and web sites for start dates of shows that won't be showing until sometime in 2012; wishlists do that automatically for me and auto-record.

Things like whihlists and many other tivo features may not be of use to you, but only you can evaluate that and balance it against the potentially extra channels that Sky has.
