And that price is much more sensible in my eyes. Sky's box has also been out longer so they are in the position to cut the price to counter the TiVo launch. Sky+HD 1TB box for Â£99 with free install would throw the cat amongst the pigeons.

Somehow I rather doubt this will be on offer as they will be keeping a sharp eye on such bad practice, and any agent flouting the rules will be asked to explain why, and saying I saved a customer may not be reason enough with this rollout.

I know VM do, I have never had to threaten to leave a company though. I usually get what I want anyway

Did anyone else hear some strange mumbling sound coming from underground then? How very odd.

I called Sky for a quote (nothing to do with the TiVo expense, more with the terrible CS I had this last month) and Sky essentially mislead you into believing they are cheaper than Virgin.

I asked for the comparable package to V+HD, XL TV, XL phone, L bb and they came up with Â£58.50 per month. That's not a lot more than I pay with VM, but it's certainly not cheaper.

Given that I have to lose on demand functionality too, and pay Â£250 for 1.5TB hard disk (WTF?!?) they are having a laugh.

So to those of you thinking of jumping ship to Sky just because this new product is too expensive... the grass isn't greener as far as I can see. Looks like I'll be staying red (although VM CS are making me SEE RED!

)
