VM might not like the idea of direct competition, but perhaps that's one less thing for them to worry about / manage.
Anyone have any info or ideas if it is coming?

These internet companies now have more influence than I thought. Lovefilm/Amazon have decided to make a new series of Ripper Street after it was axed by the BBC. One of the conditions of this deal is that the BBC get the rights to show it after Lovefilm/Amazon customers have seen it. In effect, they have led the state broadcaster to reverse their decision to axe one of their shows!

BT is awaiting Ofcom's imminent decision re SkySports 1/2 on YouView. It's likely to go in BT's favour.

I remember that. Yesterday, I was reading about how some cable companies abroad have enabled their STB to be connected to a satellite dish too. This enables their customers to easily view our FTA satellite channels without any rights or carriage issues because of this satellite overspill.
I'm not sure if these channels appear on the EPG and/or if they are recordeable.
This could be an idea for VM, or maybe an app like TV Catch Up??
