Re: Coming soon to Virgin TV 2014
I would pay a subscription, but not PPV. The HBO on demand pure and simple would do me nicely.

Blinkbox has HBO content. Michael Comish, Group Digital Officer at Tesco and co-founder of blinkbox stated last month:

“We expect to see further growth in tablets, games consoles and Smart TVs in 2014 and will be focusing hard on bringing access to great entertainment into more and more homes via the most popular devices.”

I'm sure he is fully aware that Netflix launched on TiVo. It's been long reported that Liberty Global are open to more video on demand services launching.

Of course if Blinkbox can sell HBO shows on an on demand basis in the UK, clearly this isn't a rights window that has been snapped up by SKY. If that is the case then what would stop HBO offering their content, in the same way as Blinkbox, on the Virgin Media platform? Sure not too many people want to be paying to watch a show per episode, but at least you've have access to the content should you want to watch it.
