I think that is a pretty bad excuse to be honest. Not everybody gets to see the content on the BBC first time round and i like to be able to have access when i choose. As we know the iplayer only keeps shows for a week. Virgin also use to have a much better offering from ITV which they also let expire.

Even if i did take that as a valid excuse what i don't understand is why contact was never made to get exclusive on demand content direct from US content providers. WIth the power of the broadband network that Virgin has the on demand is where they should be focusing the time and money.

As people have pointed out not only have Sky caught up but they have overtaken with their on demand offering.
