Good point. I often forget to look at what's on Sky arts and BBC 4 (which also have some really good music concerts/documentries on) and miss things, though both channels repeat things a lot.
My favourire bands and artists are going on to a whishlist as soon as I get tivo. Tivo's recommendations should also take care of similar artists I'm not that familiar with.
Having some of them in HD and 5.1 sound will be even better.

It will be handy for Sky Arts HD in particular, they clearly don't skimp on bit rates although I don't know if that will be relevant to the feed VM will use anyway.
The PQ and audio can be nothing short of stunning which is why I sought these channels so much.
And plenty of content is native too.

Do you regret leaving now? These channels were the ones you moved for.

I haven't left VM
If you mean do I regret getting Sky then no as without going into detail I was offered very favourable terms. And it's only a 12 month contract too.
Equally VM might be accomodating if I was to give them a call to return XL next year. I am sure it would take nothing more than a phonecall as all the kit will still be in place.
And of course I got a free HD satellite system to boot!
