    I'm with sky, full package HD and all sports movies etc, phone, broad band multi room blah blah £100 a month, that includes line rentals etc.

    Virgin keep sending crap through my door and in the end it works out just as much... Small prints the key...

    Also no sky Atlantic on virgin so that means no Game of thrones!!! Very bad!!!

    Me too mate, can't fault them & their call centres speak English which helps.

    Only down side is the porn channels aren't included

    had sky at previous home (mother in law ish) and all ways had problems with signal in bad weather, now moved into a house that previously had virgin so thought id give it a try. they reckon £63 a month for all the bells package and two tivo boxes which sounds good but il check the small print.

    They've just been bought out, so I'd wait to see if anything comes of that first. Might be some 'new owner' offers in the pipeline...

    Or they might sell out to Sky

    I did some work for BT back in 2007 and they had a product called 'Vision' which was HP Hardware and Microsoft software. The idea that TV is cached at BT server end and relayed through to the users digibox on demand. It ate Harddisks. HP blamed Microsoft and Microsoft blamed HP and it was just a huge ugly nightmare.

    I wouldnt touch it with a ****ty stick.
