If you can't see that I'm afraid I give up.
Surely, that's easily resolved, by ensuring that access is only available to XL customers.

As I've said already, Now TV is now available on an increasing number of smart TVs and TV sticks, so why not give access via the TiVo box so as to give VM viewers more options?

Remember, our friend Mr Malone is committed to giving it's customers maximum access to content without necessarily owning channels itself.

All I'm saying is that it's no skin off VM's nose to provide this option for it's customers. Hell, they could even take a cut of the proceeds!

VM isn't a supermarket.

They already have Netflix on the TiVo and they have invited Amazon as well. What's so special about Sky?
