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.
It appears both of us are really just guessing at who offers the most content on demand. Is there any independent website which confirms just how much content both offer? I've searched Google for about 20 minutes now without finding a proper comparison.

When it boils right down to it I'm glad both companies offer different products and services as it pushes both to innovate. It would not be good for consumers if both just offered the exact same services. At the end of the day customers will choose the provider based on what they are looking for from their TV provider. The reasons I've chosen Virgin won't be the same reasons why you've chosen SKY. At least neither of us are with BT Vision
