Sorry about deviating but some of my friends have Sky boxes and after using them they do not bear comparison to Tivo.

Re: sky vs virgin media

I've long argued that Virgin should get competitive on Multiroom. Too late for the vanguard I guess.

Selective quoting mate , I've used TIVO in a VM store not at home I can hardly judge it on that. You need to use something for months at home to decide proper on something.

Very true, But how much to other service providers advertise multi-room. If they all did the prices could get cheaper, But then the subs would go up

These moves would seem logical as Sky multi room is expensive in comparison to VM however it could well just be forum speculation.
cant see any chance with that sky only believe in one thing money as there hd charge per box shows that

Very very true and VM have the activation charge as if you work it out for the 12/18 month contract. It is really cheap as well
