I was going to cancel and get sky but have been offered a v+ bok for free, whats it like? i have used sky plus which is great. Does v+ have a longer planner the standard virgin 2 day thing?

try here http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=538040 Ive got V+ which is great but could not comment on sky. Missus says you can be programmed a week ahead. You can also record 2 channels while watching another. HD services better on sky I think
Yeah mate I have. Never had Sky+ tbh but my dad has. I love V+ but I think it might be a touch less reliable than Sky+ but I imagine there's hardly owt in it. What DOES make V+ better than Sky+ though is that it has 3 tuners, unlike the 2 in Sky, meaning on V+ you can record 2 digital stations at the same time, whilst watching a 3rd. On Sky however if there are 2 programs on you wanna see at the same time ur screwed. You'll also know about TV on demand no doubt with Virgin - something you dont get with Sky. I can't fault Virgin and the hardware (touch wood) has been spot on. Oh, one other thing. The V+ box is also HD so if you have an HD TV you can get the only station available for nothing without subscription, BBC HD. HTH mate.
Yeah, I got one.... Very good, reliable, about 60hrs of recordable TV.</p> Echo previous comments re. 3 tuners and the fact you get HDTV. Virgin Catchup TV on demand is very good too</p>
