That's not what I'm saying at all, course VM should do deals for those that have one. But TiVo apps should be funded either from the TiVo charge (which still exists even if VM try to hide it in their collections) or by the third party (in this case Netflix) who are going to benefit financially from it's creation.
My thoughts on the ESPN situation are that either it will be replaced by BT Sport and I'll keep taking XL, or It wont be, and I'll drop down to M+ and get BT Sport. But the thought of having to contribute to the creation of an app for a box that I don't ever want to own, that I already have built into my Blu ray, my TV and can be added to my PC (which is connected to my TV), my phone or my tablet yet I choose not to use, is ludicrous.
The fairest thing to do is add another £1 to the monthly TiVo charge for TiVo app development.
