I'll take watching 99% of my content in HD any day of the week , for me sports is important and unfortunately VM can only offer 2 of the 6 Sky Sports channels in HD they also don't carry Sky Atlantic HD which in our house now takes up tuners on a regular basis , as a Sky customer I'll also soon be able to download my content to my portable devices via Sky Go to take with me on the move something I believe not possible so far on TV Anywhere. I guess I've never had a tuner issue once however I do have a multiroom PVR so spread recordings across the four , soon enough I'll be able to view all those recordings on whichever PVR with planner sharing , I guess an individuals requirements will differ.
