With 20 hours of sporting action available on demand, and fresh content updated every month, Virgin Media sports fans will be able to enjoy an extensive range of classic moments whenever they want.


Hardly a world shattering amount of content is it :shocked:

not earth shattering or ground breaking but 20 hours is better than zero hours i suppose

i was hoping VOD would be a true archive of years of general TV that one could simply pick something from not just the select few programs it is now

Agree, I hope they at least have all the 30 for 30 at once as they are really great programs.

Can't? Why? I don't think they are obliged to provide content to VM. In some cases, they already don't (very rare I see the full F1 race coverage on VM iPlayer, but always available on the standard web iPlayer).

I think they wouldn't be allowed to withdraw from VM by the BBC Trust right now due to the money recently spent on the VM customisation, but that could change in time.

I can't see ESPNA HD arriving as I would have thought they'd have announced both together.

There are true archives out there, you just need to know where to look. Usenet, of course, being the largest. Supplement that with with a few bit torrent sites and emule, and you pretty much have access to everything at any time.

Cablecos, satellite companies, telecoms companies and broadcasters will never offer a true archive for the simple reason they won't be able to make money out of it.

yeah i actually know of all the "archives" at large ... i was just saying that if VM grew their VOD to such an extent there would be no need to hunt for it and 'aquire' by legitamate means or otherwise and save some of their bandwidth :)

i know its wishful thinking but maybe VM will grow the VOD to a greater extent there is less need for 'aquiring' things by other means
