Did this happen to you a lot? I have been with VM for a couple of months and never had any problems. My freeview box was alwas breaking up!

Its true though, depends on where you live. My view of the situation is that if it is coming through a propper cable network underground it is far less prone to problems compared to anthing coming through the air. That goes for Sky TV and Freeview TV. If something in the air is in the way of a signal or even just certain weather conditions, that could affect signal quality.

I also don't like broadband coming down a thin copper phone cable. I am in the business and know what a state the old PSTN is in and belive me, you would'nt want your internet coming down it! BT will change that with their new 21 Century network but its a slooow process installing it.
