2011 has been the first year I've felt that VM actually have a technical strategy for their TV platform, rather than just picking up cheap kit from US manufacturers and putting it in a slightly more aesthetically pleasing box. I'd love to see the roadmap for 2012 to address some of the elephants in the room (TiVo EPG quality, running two EPG platforms, TiVo on V HD box etc) but I actually get the impression somebody has a vision and is driving it.

As far as content is concerned, part of me misses TW's desire to be a content provider and there's still nothing quite like Bravo on TV but I accept that this simply wasn't part of VM's core business and it raised a few quid.

Onwards and upwards for 2012!
