Sky Vs Virgin?

Question

Which one of the HD services should i get. Which one is better for value ? Any chance if i rung both of them would i get a better deal if i played them off of each other ?

Answer 1

One thing to keep in mind is what HD content is available on each platform.

Currently SKY has the following:

Sky Movies HD

Sky Sports HD

Sky One HD

Sky Arts HD

National Geographic HD

History Channel HD

Discovery HD

Sky Box Office HD

BBC HD

Channel 4HD

Currently Virgin are only offering there on demand service and BBC HD

So if you actually want to watch HD now it looks like SKY is the best option.

I tried playing Sky of against Virgin to get a discount and SKY just laughed at me!

Answer 2

I have Virgin Media and have had no problems at all with it.

When Skye posted a special offer package I phoned Virgin and they matched it with no problems.

A friend of mine has changed from Skye to Virgin because he was having reception problems and is delighted with the improvement
