Re: Sky here i come for TV
I might well join you, like you I have had excellent phone and Broadband for many years.
I swapped from Sky to VM 11 months ago and although I havn't had any bad problems all the little niggely things really add up. I know Sky isn't perfect but I don't remember having so many bugs with it. So unless VM do something special in the next month I think I will go back.

What's the 160 version?
It says you will save about £160 on Sky+ box and installation, is that what you mean

Re: Sky here i come for TV
I would switch to Sky if they didn't use the minidish. Horrible black thing! I am happy with my VM TV. But Sky needs to lower their prices for me to switch!

It doesn't say what model the Sky+ box is, probably be the 80gb version unless they arent made anymore.

Is Sky's monthly TV package a lot dearer than VM's ?

I think a lot of people are getting this, SKy's attempt to squeeze a few more subs from virgin.
Take advantage of it I say, nothing like 2 companies in a feud for saving $
which I guess proves that the pay tv market is pretty competetive dispite acusations of monopolies
