If they got those, it'd be more expensive.
At the moment, we have: VIP package at £113 100mb bb XL TV Phone, Sports&Movies + ESPN, multiroom and TiVo.
With Sky, we can get Sky World, BB, Phone for £108.
Plus with Sky you get all sports in HD, F1 plus atlantic. But not ESPN but that's going anyway and BT won't put it on virgin for free.
If the sky channels get added to virgin, I don't see how they cant make it more expensive than sky.
The only benefit to Virgin over sky is the 3 tuners, the fact that the multiroom box is also a v+hd box (recordable, 3 tuners but not really used), and that it doesn't go off in heavy rain.
