Probably because it took VM a while to weigh up whether the programmes were worth it!

Not very impressed with our on demand selection really. Could do with more good quality stuff on there. Don't think we'll get it though.

They are missing a trick, because if cost is a problem, they could introduce the better programmes that are currently missing in a new premium pack. That means more money for VM.

Its very complicated now with so many ways to view content. All bases need covered.
True, although I do think I read somewhere that VM had decided not to add this because it was not of a good enough quality. I can't remember where I read it - don't think I dreamt it!
