Neither are in the top 100 popular channels.

I'd rather Virgin continue to invest in catch up and on demand content. I think Virgin offer a great selection of general entertainment at the touch of a button. Will SKY ever match Virgins' catch up and on demand selection?
They have already haven't they?Sky Anytime plus has complete seasons of TV shows in HD, Sports in HD, Movies in HD. ITV Player for catchup. BBC iPlayer on the way.

7 days backwards EPG catch up on the way. If you look at a A-Z listing of VM VOD and Sky VOD Sky seems to have a little bit more content and many newer shows. A lot of VM customers seem to have zero knowledge of Sky anytime and how it is an ondemand service with lots of content. The Sky Anytime on VM is not the same as Sky Anytime+ on Sky.
