YouView customers can purchase movies individually from the separate Sky Store application on YouView but not from the Now TV application, that's just £8.99 unlimited access. BT and TalkTalk YouView customers can also purchase movies and boxsets from their respective ISPs via YouView.

Is it easy to hook up Now TV to complement the VM TV service?

As indicated elsewhere, it would be less than half price to use Now TV for movies v Sky Movies. However, Now TV doesn't have all the movies that Sky Movies shows. For example, Spider Man 2 is showing on Sky SciFi/Horror at the moment but it's not yet available via Now TV's on-demand service.
Others on this forum have hooked up the Now TV box to complement their VM TV services quite easily.

I don't think VM would be keen on selling another way to access live channels, I think VM would be the barrier here, not Sky. For one thing, it confuses customers. The all-inclusive on-demand movies-only offering should be more acceptable for Virgin.
