The only thing that gets me about all this is Virgin have had the ability to blow Sky and all competitors out of the water technology wise for many years now but through previously mis-directed management (?) and being bogged down by debt have lagged behind substantially.

Now it seems they are never going to catch up and firmly remain also rans compared to Sky which is a shame.
Agreed, find it amazing that some things that have been available in America don't appear to have been considered over here.

Features like

Start over - would love to be able to start a TV show again at the touch of a button.

Remote recording - been available for years on Sky but no mention of it via cable despite cable boxes having a full two way link to Virgin HQ.

Create your own playlists of VoD shows.

I know Tivo is coming and it going to (apparently) change our lives but I have had cable for over 10 years now and these features have been available around the world for years.
