i think you will find that any court in the land will disagree with your assertion, and that in fact, the consumer contract
does cover the person and is infact
'only for you' within the confines of the two partys contract.
rather than the usual 'if you dont like it leave' sheepish response in the hope that if these people leave VM will magicly resolve the under financed network and understaffed/over worked workforce.., why not just nip down your local county court and fill in a county court paper and every customer might be better off in the long term if things cant be resolved any other way.

sure ,Alliance Atlantis Sci-Fi is good but theres lots to chose
http://www.joost.com/whatson/channels.html
and when it goes live its got a lot of studio names signed up to it as well.
dont go trying it at home/prime time though or you will get throttled for sure...
thats were the VM and the other UK ISP's throttling their users will come unstuck if their not careful, the end users might be sheepish with bringing court action.
but you can bet joost and their backers, not to mention the other commercial entitys comeing on line soon will be quite ready to test the throttling in UK court if its seen as effecting their mass market UK user base and profits later, perhaps people are already pointing this throttling out to joost etc and we might see the courts filling up or some workable compromise reached.

simple logic would state because what they want to see is NOT on VM VOD and perhaps never will be.
you dont have to sit infront of your PC OC, as theres TV out connections on most video cards today.
stuff a cable into your TV from it and press play at its most basic, all the way up to stand alone STB's that can take any content no matter were its from CD/DVD/DVB-T/DVB-S/LAN/HD/wireless NET etc and display your content on the TV its pluged into.
buy 2 see two seperate bits of content, thats were VM are SO limited and antiquated, they could have included that IP streaming capability in every single STB, but they didnt so go buy a 3rd party STB and be happy they even have harddrives included so you can store your content directly on them if you like and turn off your PC.
soon i imagine there will be joost and other apps included as standard inside these 3rd party STB's and away the IPTV goes for real.
you can be sure any
campaign will be taken to new hights if its not resolved by then.
