The TV side of a package is the least important to me so can't comment on the channels and content, except to say im happy with all the HD channels available.

Didn't have a Tivo before but my old VM tv box was a bit laggy when navigating the menu's. Find the Sky box smoother in that respect. I guess tivo has all the same remote recording via phone and all that kind of stuff too.

Once my phone is unrooted i'll be using the Sky Go live tv/on demand android app quite a bit. VM really need to get their android version out to customers.

Oh and I havn't heard a fan kick in on the Sky+HD box yet like the virgin one did. Minor niggle though.

Was worried about the 1080i on Sky compared to 1080p on VM but now it is installed there really doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference.

In general I couldn't say if VM or Sky TV is better.
