FWIW I like Muppetman's observation that the sleak products of Apple are like those of Sky whilst the more Heath Robinson Android stuff is more like what we get from Virgin. It probably explains why so many on this thread have said they wouldn't want anything from Apple since almost by virtue of the fact that they are Virgin customers they're not the sort of people who want the type of products Apple offer.
I'm not sure that I get your point. Comparing Sky and VM's set top boxes, Sky's box possibly does feel sleaker. But isn't that because it has a fraction of the functionality of the VM tivo box? Surely it's fairly easy to make something sleek that only does the basics?
