Had my virgin installed last Friday and couldn't be happier with it especially the tv. Because i haven't got an HD telly the picture quality is exactly the same as my old sky plus.
Dicky Branson i love you.
Just wait till you gave been using it a while, the picture is good most of the time but goes through phases of being mediocre and you have to keep resetting the box. Also, no way the box is anywhere near as user friendly as the sky one.
No agree that the remote is not as user friendly but its not as bad.
As for the box itself i think its better than the sky plus box i had and at least its silent.
Plus Virgin customer service seems alot better than skys. I've spoken to them on 3 occasions now on unrelated matters and not once have i been put through to an Indian guy called Kevin who i cannot understand.
