Is there a Virgin Media equivalent to Sky+?

I'm looking for a package that might be a little like Sky+, but with Virgin or another company. I am currently a Virgin Media customer and have looked at the possibility of installing Sky+ in the property I am moving into. Unfortunately, it may not be possible for me to install a dish. I'm therefore looking for alternatives.
 
Yes. It is called V+. It is actually better than Sky+ -

1. It has 3 tuners so you can record two channels and watch one. Sky+ only has 2 tuners - it lets you watch one and record one.

2. I believe you get the whole of the hard disk on V+. Sky reserve half of the disk on Sky+ for Sky Anytime.

3. V+ has true Video on Demand (VoD). Sky Anytime is a pretend implementation of VoD (its not technically possible to deliver real Video on Demand via satellite) Sky Anytime has a few hours of content - a fraction of the content on Virgin on Demand.

4. The standard V+ box is HD compatible, with Sky you need to get Sky+ HD, which costs more. However, Sky does currently have more HD channels.
 
V+ from Virgin Media offers a similar package to Sky+; you have the ability to schedule and record programmes and pause live TV. As far as I know, Sky1, 2 etc are now available with Virgin Media.
