For me, VM are far better than Sky on everything apart from TV channels. The three recordable tuners and Whishlists are that Tivo offers have become a 'must have' feature for me and to downgrade to the limited functionality of a Sky box would be unacceptable.

But I also want Sky atlantic, and would prefer to have more channels in HD, which means going to Sky.

I highly doubt that we will see Atlanic on VM anytime soon.
