And of course it isn't true, and VM customers aren't thick because they have known for years that Sky has better content, and still chosen VM.

In fact, for a couple of years now, it has been very easy to remedy that situation by adding a Now TV box, meaning that you don't have to move to Sky to get the missing content; now you have a best of both worlds scenario.

Nothings changed recently, content wise, in Sky versus VM. But Sky are about to launch a shiny new box, and suddenly for some the content differences that have been there for years are suddenly relevant.

They're also moaning about a five year old PVR because it doesn't look as good as the forthcoming new Sky box. Of course it won't look as good; five years is a long time in the tech world. But they aren't prepared to wait to see if VM also come out with a new box.

So what? You can pick up a now TV box for £15, or one with 3 months entertainment pass for £19.

Why depend on a cable box for streaming services which has a five year replacement cycle? That five year cycle means that after a couple of years, it's going to be relatively slow and lack recently launched services compared to low cost streamer boxes that are updated annually.
