I've had SKY for 5 months now without any signal problems whatsoever. I was previsouly a Virgin customer for about 7 years. During that period I only ever lost my TV signal 2, maybe 3 times but one did last for about 2 days! It wasn't Virgins fault though, British Gas had cut through a cable in the local area.

I would say however that almost on a daily basis I had issues with Virgin when it came to watching catch up or on demand TV. So many times between 10:00pm to 1:00am trying to watch catch up or on demand seemed impossible. I'd say for this reason alone, more people have problems with their TV service with Virgin on a daily basis than do with SKY.
