In addition, those likely to pay for on demand programming are probably already doing so and with Tivo, Virgin are uniquely placed as a platform to offer access to many streaming services AND a linear channel line up which compares well with Sky, who are increasingly looking like a one trick pony.

Disagree with the one trick pony assumption , Sky Go is a streaming service with many channels available on laptop/pc plus OD content it has all Sky Movies/Sports channels with Sky News on phone/tablet with downloadable content to mobile devices to come , look at trends in the US and you will see more and more people are consuming content away from the home on mobile devices , sure VM have a player but they aren't really in the same league yet are they. I agree with you that VM are in an decent position with their offering.
