In another four to five years, the pace of change will only increase and the TV packages offered by all the main players are likely to be very different from what they are now.

It would be pretty impossible to make a sensible guess about the actual channels we will have, but I would like to see the following offerings from Virgin Media:

A package of subscription and pay per view streaming services offering more titles than any other provider.

An extra bundle made available containing linear TV channels we cannot currently obtain, at a cost that those who wish to have it will have to pay.

An upgraded TIVO box with sufficient memory available to provide faster speed, with the ability to identify programmes you want to see later through the cloud (instead of through recordings).

An on demand selection of archived TV titles that is second to none.

An enhanced music video service featuring all the current hits on the music scene and including a massive selection of oldies and album tracks from the last few decades.

I’m fairly optimistic that most of this will actually come before 2020, provided that VM does not move away from linear channels by then, as at least one operator is reported as doing right now according to theone.

What TV packages or developments on TIVO would you like to see on offer in 2020? Have I missed anything?
