ive got the v+ virgin hd box had telewest/ntl/virgin for 7 years now and apart from 2 outages which they reimbursed the month free ive never had a problem love the fact you can record 2 and watch a 3rd.

a few friends have sky and they always locking up and the most anoying thing is when searching the channel list you cant carry on watching / listening to what you were you get the stupid screen and stupid hold style music
