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.

It will be interesting to see if next year when BTs long term HBO deal runs out they can/will renew it or wether the sky deal precludes them from doing so.
Could VM not have both lovefilm and Filmflex running in tandem then customers could decide who to take content from for films?, for mini series and comedies ie curb your enthusiam ,boradwalk empire filmflex would not be showing these anyway so i guess its possible both could have a place on vm.
But as you say deals have to be done but for all we know vm could already be talking to lovefilm about content without advertising the fact, if thats the case its "coming soon"
