Their Sky channel wasn't the same as on Sky...
I was an early adopter of OnDigital and there were many problems with it. Even with a decent aerial upgrade, reception was pretty poor and next door's lawnmower would reduce the picture to a myriad of digital artefacts. However, the main reason for ditching them and going to Sky was that they didn't carry the full range of programming on their so-called Sky channel. This was because Sky only had the broadcast rights for satellite, and OnDigital were too tight to purchase the terestrial rights. When certain programs were on Sky (Seinfeld being the one I remember) OnDigital would show "America's most dangerous pets" or other such garbage. I gave the box to my in-laws and they carried on using it for several years until it finally died.
