I haven't actually seen the content of the Now Tv box but I think I'm right in saying that it doesn't provided the complete back catalogue of programmes we have been talking about here.

I was tempted by Now Tv until I realised that programmes were pulled with little notice - this is no good for me. If we could have a more stable system in terms of programmes remaining on the site for a good period of time (like Netflix), together with first run PPV, I would be more than happy. I would also rather have everything on my TIVO rather than have to purchase alternative equipment.

So a subscription service through Virgin Media would be perfect for me.
