Not had any weather related problems since getting sky installed last year.

I think the OP has a different topic title than the question asked. I don't see how installation method affects the future proofing of a service. Sky dishes can be put anywhere with a phone line, which is almost every house in the country, wheras virgin have to dig up streets to add new households.

As said before weather is not an issue.

How many streams a service has now does no mean anything for the future. Methods of using home networking can resolve some issues and upgrading stbs canadd more tuners. But who really needs to recoding 5 channels while watching another.

More Importantly for the future of both services is having tv thst customers will pay for. Sky have more money to inest in tv while vm is loosing out with channels lately. Unless something changes soon, I think vm could lose a fair few tv customers who take their other services awway too.
