honest truth why i do this..
wen i moved to my flat where i am now i couldnt have sky cos there had no more room on the dish,fair enough.
so i went to virgin media
the first month i had no problems with it.
2nd and 3rd month i had loads of problems with it.i got fed up with it.
i threw the box out the window.lol
i told virgin media to come collect their box.it was v hd box at first.
so i told my land lord i getting a dish up,my own dish.they was fine with that now.so i had sky put in.
2 weeks later virgin media cable guy came up and collected that smashed came box and gave me a free tivo box.
one problem now,i got a contract with both networks ever since..
now i got 2 year contract with virgin and 1 year with sky..
originaly i only had 1 year with virgin,but as they gave me a free tivo box,they chucked in another year..
in thory-the tivo box is good.but reality-its well slow and the on demand breaks down all the time..
i am happy with the broadband with them and getting a free landline fone..
i found out afterwoods,the phoneline i wasnt in a contract,i could get rid of it any time.so i rang up virgin to cancel the landline phone,they said-save canceling it,they cut off out going calls,but the land line will be free,but just for incomming calls,and that i have to keep the cable tv and the bradband running..so i kept it in the end..
touch wood,the last couple of months the main tv channels are working ok now.touch wood..
