Now that I have a smart TV, access to Netflix, Amazon and Now TV (the latter gives me access to HBO via Sky Atlantic catch up and boxed sets) I think I now have access to all the available programming that I need and it's really not costing a fortune.

I'm not convinced that a vpn would really make a dramatic improvement to my viewing, but I'm going to do some research on this.

I remain of the view that if Virgin Media offered Amazon and Now TV on the Tivo, this would draw in more subscribers to their TV package. I don't buy the argument that VM would never seriously consider adding the Now TV app. It would bring advantages to both Virgin and Sky.
