VM could simply set up a fiber link to stream content direct to us so even HD is possible.


On top of that Google is reportedly planning to launch an unlimited movie subscription service in the UK.




Wonder if this would work under the TiVo YouTube app.


Would be amazing if it did as would make TiVo even more desirable

I doubt it, it would be the same as now with aps on computer, tv's, iphones etc.


VM would be acting as an isp in this reguard not supplying content and charging Lovefilm etc by bandwidth used or a cut of the sub like itunes do now.


They are already talking to Lovefilms among others for services like this on TiVo.

So it looks a real possibility then. This would break Sky's stranglehold over TV series and film rights which would make the Sky Atlantic complaints irrelevant. Let's hope that this is the way we are going.
