What about Youview when it launches; I would have thought that would have the content via apps. I saw some reference in a post to a May launch but don't know how true it is.

VM need to get recordable linear channels. People are fed up with Sky beating them hands down for TV channels and to pass up on these extra channels would be an own goal, irrespective of the fact that V+ users won't get them all unless they are linear channels.

I hope VM aren't using this to drive up Tivo demand, because if they are, they deserve to get defectors to Sky or Freesat. And even with Tivo, as it currently stands, there is no way to record the events when people are at work.
