Masque,

Even after the £7.80 a month warranty I pay (that covers both my Sky+ HD box's and dish etc) I am still paying less than I would for Virgin Media TV,and in my opinion I think the Sky box does the job well,the SD picture quality is good and more importantly I get Sky Atlantic included in my package. And yes before you ask I have had TiVo and found it to be slower,less responsive,poorer picture (both HD and SD) and over complicated even to do the "basics",I must add I had it before the software upgrade so my comments are based on this and from what I have heard on here there has been a vast improvement,so,who knows maybe next time I will switch to a TiVo,that is if Virgin get Sky Atlantic.....................
