Answer 10

I prefer Sky, also love Sky+

Answer 11

I had NTL in the past which is now Virgin, they tend to have very bad customer service though in terms of cost are cheaper than SKY. Sky Plus is still the best of the hard disk boxes out there also, but in terms of programming I have noticed that Virgin are starting to catch up out of nowhere.. Their Virgin 1 channel seems to be pulling in a lot of the new shows and getting them exclusively. Also, setanta sports is getting premiership and european football also. So in terms of programming value, both are leveling out though I would still suggest SKY for better customer service and because they are still ahead. Also, if you are not going to switch BB and phone then their stand alone televison prices are well balanced still whereas Virgin is more about the whole package.

Answer 12

You are better off with satellite TV than cable but need to get a dish fitted to receive it. You can only get cable TV (now called Virgin but previously called NTL) if you live somewhere where it is available, but you can get satellite TV anywhere once you have your dish professionally installed and have your satellite receiver.

You can get Sky and Virgin channels on both systems, but have a much bigger choice of channels with satellite including many you can not get on cable. But if you want Movie Channels and/or Sky Sports Channels it costs you a lot more whichever system you have for full rates go to Sky Website. A cheaper option is to get what is ca;lled "Freeview" which you either need a Freeview box to pick up, or else if you buy the latest TVs on sale they will have that in already. But you are much more limited in what Channels you can get although it costs nothing to receive the available channels. You can get more channels with free-view by also subscribing to what is called Top up TV, but that is still a lot less than you get with Sky satellite, so go for that..
