Parents have Virgin and it just isn't as user friendly as Sky.
The outlaws left Sky and went to Virgin but have since gone back to Sky.

I left Sky as the EPG was slow and annoying. The TiVo EPG is slower, even more annoying and just a badly designed user interface.

The one thing that is better about the TiVo is the apps that let you control it from your phone/tablet as you can either control the box itself whilst viewing the EPG, or you can even watch your recorded programs on them if you really want to.

If it wasn't for the price I'm getting, I'd be going back to Sky.
