I'm afraid VM don't have the VOD rights to these sort of events. They only have what's called near-VOD rights, which they buy from Sky, hence the set repeat times (like movies used to with Front Row)

I never order these events, but it is rather annoying that you pay the same as a Sky subscriber for the event, but you only get a day of repeats, whereas often as not, Sky offer repeats for a week after. I know some areas had repeats for a few days and others had none at all...wonder if this is the happy medium?
