Tho I have to say that given iplayer is integrated into the Sky interface, I think virgin should do that like it once was. The way you have to watch through that crappy app is rubbish. I swear bbc trust said they needed to do it that way so virgin didn't have unfair advantage, but sky do it through guide anyway.

iPlayer is still integrated, you can use the backwards EPG or the catch up menu, it just forwards you to the app.
We get the app cause it means the BBC can supply content direct to the boxes from their servers rather than delivering programmes to Virgin to put at each headend.
Sky's integration is just the same as Tivos apart from it downloads to their box instead of streams. Sky boxes just can't support the iPlayer interface the TiVo can.
But as I say, iPlayer is integrated it just has a different UI and streams via the Internet rather than standard On Demand
