Having said that if you want Amazon Instant Streaming there is no point in waiting for it to come to Virgin just get one of their Fire TV or Sticks then yo will realise how bad the apps are on Tivo.

I can see what your saying but Amazon is so different to Netflix for instance with Amazon you can rent/purchase the latest titles which would be a direct and probably cheaper rival to Virgin Movies. I'm not sure who the Virgin Movies service is provided by but who knows what the current contracts allow for.
On Amazons own products they also have the ability to sell other Amazon products such as apps , games etc it pays for them to keep you in their own ecosystem.
