Sky, Virgin or BT

Can anyone tell me what is the best deal out there for digital TV?
I have seen Virginmedia.com/crunch with 3 months free along with Sky HD discounted deal and the BT new deal, it's very confusing, i have Sky and i'm very happy with it but i would just like to know which is the best deal for my sister. I'm temped to go for the Virgin deal but don't know if it is a good service.

Advice required

    We're with Virgin for TV, phone and broadband.

    We had a nightmare with fraudulent use of our V+ box and trying to get action to sort it out over the phone. Stupid questions like 'are you sure no-one could have been in your house downloading movies and music while you were out of the country?' Doh! OH spent literally hours on hold trying to get to speak to someone who cared about fixing the problem. Promise after promise was broken - no sir this won't happen next month .... oh, yes it will, 3 months in a row. We got it sorted out in the end.

    Basically the service is good until there is a problem. The whole issue left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths and we're only with them because it works out slightly cheaper for us.

    It all depends on the package your sister is after. If she knows what TV channels she wants she should get a price from one and take it to the others. Sky were prepared to undercut Virgin for us but we'd have had the additional one-off expense of getting a BT line put back.
