Had both V+ and Sky+/HD.
Sky is better for:
Red button channels on Sky Sports 1/2/3 only work on Sky not on Virgin
More HD channels
Virgin better:
Fewer HD channels but no extra cost
Slightly cheaper overall
Better channels on demand service
iPlayer access
Reliability is mixed: Sky's main downer is bad weather affecting the signal. Virgin cable doesn't have this but they have more service down times. I had two occasions in 12 months where there was 4+ hours of no service.
Given the choice, I left Virgin and went back to Sky.
