It was originally promoted to stop people going to Freeview. I'm not sure why they have stopped doing this, unless it was to get a large volume of boxes into peoples homes. They are more likely to use VM pay TV if they have a box there already. Perhaps they are now running low on boxes??

The VM "Freeview" package also includes Catch Up TV and the ability to buy PPV movies.

Once it moves into the Variety Pack later this year I'm sure the situation will change.
I agree.

There is Tiny Pop content but hasn't that always been there, or did Ben mean it was Tiny Pop OD content that was joining. I am not 100% sure if it has always been there though.

It's just when I emailed CSC about it they never mentioned Pop was joining TVC. it was quite a standard reply though.
I can't find it either.
