Re: Which is the better set top box

Someone had to vote Sky

With the SKy box I get to see the programmes I want, with any VM type I don't.

TIVO is better than better overall then any VM Set Top Box to say and SKY+ HD, all we need is more content and VM will be ahead of Sky!

Thumbs down Re: Which is the better set top box

I shall be reporting this poll to the Electoral Commission as undemocratic. Only 'selected' candidates have been put on the ballot and there is no 'None of the above' option. My Pace Di4000-N has been excluded as have many other valid representatives. It's a travesty!

I think this vote is about "Recent" Set Top Boxes!

I agree, but until VM get that content I'm with Sky.

As I said to the three different VM employees who called me for feedback on why I left, if VM get Sky Atlantic I'd go back to them.
