Which, having a broadband network that covers more of the UK than Virgin's cable network (Virgin do not offer VOD via ADSL), they could implement as easily as Virgin have. All they need is STBs with active Ethernet connections (such as Sky HD), the right software and head end servers (which they could buy like VM have done).

Thats the point that is why they bought an ISP. They cant offer it over there box but they can over the internet.

They can put it on the boxes easily enough. I believe the SKY HD boxes have ethernet ports. All Sky need to do to offer a STB service is write the software to download the programmes through these.

If VM cannot provide this, then they are failing the customer, it is no good them saying that we will not supply this, l didn't go in for VM HD box for nothing, and waste my money, on something, l am not going to get, that is false advertising.

Actually it's the programme providers there which have the duty to provide the best entertainment demanded by the viewers.

Endless re-runs, and "another opportunity to see" is the same whether you're on HD or SD
