If a program is available in HD then I will watch it in HD, but unless you are watching animated gilms like ice age or shreck, then it doesn't make a huge difference anyway.

I have left out all of the +1 channels and HD varients from this list plus all of the various religion and sales channels. These channels are perceived to be the "popular missing ones".

Also you can't yet get Premier Sports or BoxNation on Virgin.
Well most of those I never watch, and the few that I do, I only watch on rare occasions.

I've just got off the phone to VM, and apparently if I add an extra box (half Tivo), with all channels except sport including HD, then it will cost me an extra £37. However that includes changes I have made to my phone packages, taking call divert off my fax line, and adding talk mobile (top version) to one line. The addition of the talk mobile package will save me at least £40 per month.

My monthly sky bill is £50.75.

So by adding the extra VM box I could save around £53 per month

The question is, I moved house in April, so will sky have me now in a 12 month contract unil April 2012??
