Plus the only HD channels that i really miss are the ones on Sky Sports 3 & 4, how many other HD channels do Sky have more than Virgin?
I suppose it comes down to how many people live in your household, their age group and what they enjoy watching. I don't have hours and hours to spare to watch TV continually myself but throw in a wife and a couple of kids and the TV in the living room is almost never off!

For me personally I value 3D and HD TV. Virgin currently have 37 HD channels. SKY currently have 65 with Film4 HD and More 4 HD launching in the next few months.

Every channel that is on Virgin can be found on SKY. SKY offer around 200 more channels than Virgin. I agree quantity doesn't beat quality however variety is the spice of life, especially when your trying to cater for 3 or 4 peoples preferences and tastes living under your roof.
