Err, the whole point of Video On Demand is it doesn't use channels (directly). You pick what you want to watch and when you want to watch it. Say, if you wanted to watch the whole week's Eastenders (not that I am saying you would) at 3am on Saturday, you could. You would just pick the programs from a list.

I think that would depend on the people... personally I want true VOD, a dual-tuner PVR or a combination of the two. As it stands today, if had the choice I would subscribe to Sky+ purely for the PVR, not the number channels.

Proppin without giving away any trade secrets, can you talk us through some of the technical side of it?

It would be interesting to see how this would work.

Plus thoses people who query the power of the software could get some idea of what it could do?

If the details and pricelist on DS are genuine, then it would suggest that the launch isn't that far away.

But then again it could just have come from some "would you be prepared to pay £x for this"-type market research...

Sorry mate, I can't and won't say anything 'interesting'.
VOD's a bit of a sore point for me. I was asked to get involved with the original project a few years ago. I went and queued in London (2 days) for a new passport (my first ten year one) so I could visit the states to see the new kit. Three days before I was due to fly the project was pulled.

A man I have a lot of respect for gave a presentation to a few of us a week or so ago, I enjoyed it. He asked for no details to be passed on, and I won't.

Sorry.

Ok Proppin. Thank you for being honest about it rather then trying to dodge the issue.

Hope that the project does go as well as the presentation did :)
