They have content as well which is why VM cant go down this route

I have to say I'm loving the now TV box. Used my first sports day pass for the now familiar Palace surrender to a top half team last weekend because I couldn't get there and the quality was very decent, and I'm in the middle of a free month's trial of the movies pass and i'm very impressed. £8.99 for all that is excellent value. Apart from those that want full hd and top quality audio I really can't see why you'd pay double that as either a cable or satellite customer.
As for blockbuster on demand on TiVo, well great, but whereas I could see an obvious gap being plugged by Netflix, I'm struggling to see where a ppv on demand movie app will fit given we already have Virgin Movies and pay access to Sky Movies including on demand.

Given what BT spent in order to drive their broadband subs, and that Sky matched that offer, I'd say managing a 6 figure increase in broadband subs represents a decent effort for Virgin.
