Im moving shortly and considering switching from sky to virgin to save a bit of cash.

What channels are available on Virgin in HD? I cant seem to find any info on Virgins site.

BBC HD.

Should give you an idea of what you would be missing by going with Virgin.

Although I can't make the decision for you I would say that I like VM over Sky at my previous address I could not get VM. The OnDemand content is a great source and I would miss it. As for the HD side there is only one HD channel atm with some OnDemand HD content and ITV HD on demand coming in april also Before June 22nd (Summer)
Virgin will launch one or even up to five HD Channels.

Great guys thanks. It seems i would miss quite a lot, but theres a massive saving to be made, so i think its a sacrifice ill have to put up with.

it really irks me that they can't sort something out with Sky to get their HD channels ...maybe one day *sigh*... but apart from that the Virgin+ service is pretty good and the box is a good scaler.

Do virgin charge for multiroom boxes? and can you have say 3 or 4 boxes or is there a limit of 2?

they normally do charge but right now you could probably swing another box for free, i don't have any idea how many you can have though.

Very unlikely Sky will ever give up that USP soon and when they do expect to be paying through the nose on VM.
