But my main point was vm do not have sky atlantic but they could possibly get access to that content via streaming via lovefilm over the TiVo internet connection,which would mean there would be no need to carry sky atlantic at all on cable.

No it didn't, people were speculating VM lost their HBO content because of Sky snapping up the rights but this dosen't appear to be correct.
BT have a long term deal with HBO, it certainly runs at least until next year when Boardwalk Empire will be shown.
LoveFilm or the likes may well appear on Tivo but they already have FilmFlex so no doubt all manner of rights negotiations would have to take place.
Personally I suspect FilmFlex will be VM's sole PPV film provider for the foreseeable future.
