But other factors play a part in which service provider is best for a particular person. For me, the loss of fast reliable fibre BB and the three recordable tuners plus other Tivo features makes me put up with the frustration of channel launches on VM, rather than move to Sky. And to be fair, there are very few non sports channels missing from VM these days; only Atlantic. And much as I would love to have it, I've kind of got used to not having it.
Can't argue with that. I was with Telewest / Virgin Media for about 8 years. I really enjoyed TiVo. This time last year I had no inkling that I would be moving to SKY. However my mind changed after 3 price increases in a year, and no significant new channels being added. As soon as I learned I could be getting more but paying less for me personally it was an easy decision. Oh and I'd not long purchased a 3D TV so SKY 3D become a must in my household.

Virgin in the past 8 months however have been making massive strides. Not too many of the significant HD channels missing at all.
