    Sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I'm currently on plain old UPC and looking to change. Can people recommend one over the other? Do either of them have a habit of disappearing in bad weather or things like that? Thanks

    If you want to watch sport or movies then you are wrong.

    I find sky is a lot faster when going through the option screens.

    UPC won't disappear in bad weather unless there's a cabling problem somewhere. Sky won't either if you have a big enough dish that is set up correctly.

    On the other hand, the UPC Digital+ box is inferior to the Sky+ HD box. Sky's box is much faster and at least it doesn't jump back to channel 100 if you enter a wrong digit... :mad:

    Cheaper yes, but not necessarily better. Depends on your viewing habits and tastes.

    To be fair, I have only lost reception once due to a torrential downpour and that was the kind of rain that wont allow you to see 2 feet in front of you.

    It does happen but it is extremely rare.
