What might change is LG's ability to bid for content on a European basis - even then, the existing contracts for that content would have to expire, and I imagine that most of the 'good' ones are currently held by Sky.

Cloud PVRs are the future. One would hope that any long-term content deals that VM are considering/signing would take that into account. We don't want another MRS-style scenario where only a handful of channels can be recorded into the cloud.

Looking at cable offerings on the content I'm beginning to think that it's Liberty Global's other operations which stand to benefit from the additional bargaining power of Virgin's 5 million subscribers, rather than the other way around.
