Now that would be interesting. Maybe Sky are making hay while the sun shines as if this ever took off (and I am sure it will) their numbers will start to drop significantly. I think peoples main complaint is 'why can't I subscribe to the channels I watch?' well, not so far down the road, they probably will be able to.

I think VM are ultimately positioned to exploit this market should...sorry...when it arrives.
I would have thought Youview (if successfully launched) would be miles ahead of VM for this as it is going to be subscription free and therefore truly 'pay as you view'.
