Virgin should remember this. You don't milk existing customers to cover the cost of attracting new ones. You do what Sky does,spend on keeping what you already have.
Nothing new for VM - check my 2 year old sig

Oh sorry I didn't get that, see I'm a Sky customer where most of the best offers are for existing customers.

OH OK..Its just some people seem to think TIVO has this uber intelligent EPG that dynamic and does god knows what else.

Tivo is more about information to sell to advertisers than it is about the end user. Its like AOL- Its basically spyware.

£19+£82=101. But remember the multiroom HD charge in gone is September so it will all cost £91.
Funny the Sky Advisor couldn't get below £120 then isn't it.

The £150 price I got from here:
http://www.sky.com/quickbuy/build

And 500Gb is reserved for Anytime VOD, and can't be used for recordings.

Correct but you get 1tb for yourself, Tivo has 1tb for its suggestion and you to share. Surely giving Tivo 500gb for suggestions and 1tb for the user would of been a better idea.

In what way?

You can turn suggestions off. Even if you leave them on, Tivo will record over suggestions when required.

Can you turn off Sky Anytime to get back the 500Gb?

So basically in terms of storage both are equal but Sky customers also get 500gb of extra programming available instantly?

Well learn you lesson, comparing on price is silly as one would not charge much different from the other.

Its all about what you get for the price you pay..CONTENT IS KING.

An remember this...If Sky removed there content from virgin would many miss it? EG-sky1, sky sports, sky movies...

But if virgin removed there content from sky who would miss...well....ermmm...NOTHING...

In terms of storage both are equal, but sky customers get 500gb of extra programming available instantly, whereas VM customers get way way more than that in on demand which is what you should be comparing the anytime reserved storage to.
