    Internet is really fast. Can't really comment on TV as I don't watch it ;) we have the least number of channels available but there should have been a list under the bundle you picked with all included channels so it depends on what you like really.

    Yeah it's fine. You just press record. ;) Seriously though, it's quite handy setting up a series link on shows you like so it'll record the programme off any channel and link you to any episodes that are on iplayer etc. so you don't have to search around yourself. You can record up to 6 shows at once on yours whilst watching a 7th. I've got a Tivo box so not as up to date as yours, it's a bit slow when trying to use the youtube channel or one of the on demand channels.

    I had the full service including TV, Broadband and Telephone. It was costing me circa
    £125 per month. I have now reduced my package down to £65 per month by getting rid of a lot of
    the bundles re- Films, Spotify, BT and Sky Sports etc. I still have access to programmes I am
    interested in and want to watch.

    The broadband is really fast and I've found that during heavy snow showers being a cable service the
    reception is not affected. With Sky if it snowed, I had to keep going outside to brush the snow
    off the dish which was a bind.

    Personally I wouldn't go back to Sky as I've found the Virgin Customer
    Services package to be better than what I received when I was with Sky although I realise everyone
    might not have had a similar experience.
