Re: sky or virgin

Hi Vernon

I have Virgin's V+ box at home, and we run Sky HD in our test rooms at the office. Sky clearly has far more and better HD content than Virgin, which only offers the BBC HD channel and some pay-per-view movies at the moment. So I'd have to say go for Sky, as they also offer phone and broadband now.

Oh, and you can't get Sky One on Virgin any more, which is a big pain if you're a fan of Lost, 24 etc as I am!
