It's a terrible list of channels, but I don't blame VM. When are OFCOM going to do something usefull and tell these content providers to stop getting in the way of new features that viewers want.

VM have paid for the content to be recorded on a Tivo. Why are content providers ALLOWED to prevent that same paid for content, being viewed on the same type of box in a different room in the house? It beggars all logical belief, yet the content providers get away with imposing totally illogical restrictions on a simple function that benefits viewers who have paid for the content, not illegally downloaded it. And the content providers wonder why people illegally download things; they should look to their own restrictive practices for some of the reasons.
