Default Has anyone got a Virgin Media V+ box?

As per title, got Sky HD at the moment, fed up with the amount it's costing and since the movie channels have gone to pot, I'll only miss Sky One, and I'm sure I'll get over that.

Virgin have got a good offer at the moment, same phone (free weekend calls) and broadband package (2mb) that I have at the moment, for £35 per month (only £5 more than I currently pay them), and I can have a V+ box with the (L) tv package.

I know Virgin's HD content is limited but the saving is vast and I'm tempted. Wondered if anyone had any good or bad comments to make about Virgin's tv service, and the V+ box in particular.

Tried avforums, but was left with more questions than answers!

Record 2 different channels while watching another cant be bad with a 80hrs of recording......But

Virgin are not the best when you change over lots of little faults BUT they do correct
them eventually!!!

I like mine - only one HD channel at the moment but you can get HD content on Pay Per View.
