I'm not interested in a who is better than who as that's personal choice...
But that comparison is basically the tech. spec. and hard facts about each product and, as such, does not contain any of the author's personal opinions.

I think that says it all.
Well it "says it all" about your personal opinion. Nothing more.

it also states 50+ High Definition channels when Sky have 60+. It also states Sky has no catchup HD granted they don't have terrestrial however they do have Sky One , Sky Atlantic HD catchup content available.

No mention of setting up a reminder/series link from an advert for a show which Sky clearly does and the others don't.
Fair points. It's not my document so I can't say why these things were not included Perhaps email the guy and ask.

Also we're it says Non-Premium HD channels cost it says £10.25 with no mention that you can actually receive some HD channels FTA or FTV with a Sky viewing card..
Because it's a comparison of DVRs from Pay TV services. You cannot receive any channels from VM or BTV without paying for them

I said it was "brilliant and detailed". I didn't say it was 100% accurate or up-to-date

Plus... I "reached the bronze age" too
