Seriously? Too complicated? I guess spending hours on end looking through a TV guide is a better alternative?
We're not heavy internet users. We just browse the web, read e-mails mainly so 20mb wouldn't bother us and tbh on normal browsing you can't tell the difference. We only get about 40mb as it is now.
You will probably notice the difference, you will be losing half your speed.
I do like the catch-up on virgin, and they were ahead of the game on this, but Sky have caught up in a sense that they now too offer iplayer and itv catch up services as well as full sky catch up and on demand.
We have found that virgin catch up often breaks and it's usually at night when you most want to use it.
The multiroom box that is free with sky doesn't record, but if you pay £199 you can get a recording one, which is frankly, a rip-off. Thing is though, we never record on the multiroom box so it wouldn't affect us.
Basically, it depends on what you want/need. But it still remains that you go to the place where you get what you want for the cheapest price. I don't know why anyone would not do that unless they had won the lottery.
This is true, but you forgot to add the cost of ESPN in your previous post with regards to price. Add the cost of ESPN to sky and sky magically becomes more expensive than VM, with many less advantages, in my eyes, and as such gives me what I want at the cheapest price.
Also, I believe, TV anywhere now streams more channels than sky go (I may be wrong and am happy to be corrected)
