Agreed, a show stopper for me considering Sky if I ever wanted to. Having 3 tuners to record concurrent programmes is absolutely essential in my household, Sky is simply not an option so a case of “will Sky will ever catch up with VM?” As regards that Anytime+ list, plenty of channels there which have OD content of VM so caught up already as far as I am concerned.

Where Sky do lead is total channels available including HD and I don’t ever expect VM to catch up that far, further progress yes but not to take on everything Sky has. But if you want access to every channel, then Sky will always have the edge if that is what is really key to you. However apart from the odd programme/series on Sky Atlantic, I cannot remember the last time I saw a something I couldn’t see on VM.
