This is probably a bit late Ive had Sky for years,standard Sky digital. Box broke, Sky wanted a fortune to fix it. Cant get Virgin in my area. Pals told me to tell them I got a better deal off BT, phoned Sky to cancel and they gave me a HD box, multi room for nothing (6 months free to be precise). They are desperate to keep you and if you are leaving for Virgin or BT they will bend over backwards to keep you.
