Whilst not going to happen anytime soon the above I feel that the OD will diminish more rather than increase but happy to be challenged on that
With their buying power, perhaps VM may decide it cheaper and easier to eventually scrap VOD like TV Choice and offer us Netflix and Lovefilm etc at no extra cost??

Obviously, they would have to get more customers onto TiVo before they could consider this.
