I prefer the way you can access on demand directly rather than having to download it as you do with Sky. I also do not like the fact that you cannot record anything on the additional mini-boxes.
I'm not sure if you can bookmark programmes on Sky, but that is a very useful feature on the V6. I have about 100 films bookmarked on 'My Shows', alongside my recordings. We have been having 'film matinees' on the rainy days during the lockdown and my wife could not believe the good choice that had been accumulated. We could never have found the disk-space to record that lot!
Also, am I right to say that some channels on Sky have been downgraded to SD? I think VM may have more HD channels than Sky now.
The only thing I would complain about regarding the TV side of VM's operation is the UI, which is a bit outdated now, but that should be resolved with the introduction of Horizon 4 later this year. It's just a shame that the content of the channels has deteriorated so much in the last few years.

Well, true, but as it will not happen, it is not something to concern VM subscribers. The future is in streaming, anyway.

Tbf to you i find 90% of my viewing is done via streaming, but nice to have SKY/freeview just incase something goes wrong with my bb.
Plusnets tv is delivered via bb too so that makes BT, Talktalk and plusnet online tv providers plus vodafone is apparantly launching their tv service soon too via internet.

I guess its what you get used to , we've had Sky Q since launch so using it is second nature so I'm sure many who have had tivo since launch find it the same. I guess its what suits the individual user the best.

I do like SKYQs interface.
