New house - what are my options

I currently live in a house with virgin media (fibre) installed, so have virgin phone, broadband and TV (two TIVO boxes). I'm about half way through an 18 month contract. Wife particularly watches sky1, sky2, living, fox and atlantic. We don't particularly watch sport.
I'm about to move to a different part of the country, to a new build. The builders have connected the house to BT, they tell me.
The new house doesn't have an aerial, though I could fit one if I wanted. I searched for the postcode and apparently the line will support 6Mb broadband, or 38Mb infinity.
I'd appreciate a steer on what's out there, and the best ways to connect Should I be looking at a sky dish? (never had one before as I've always been on virgin media) Or can sky stream over the broadband link? If so, what do I need to install my end?
Can I ask Virgin media to continue to supply the rest of my contract through the BT cable (is that even possible?)?
