VM do not make a lot of profit from showing Sky channels, particularly the premium channels. Given the protests over the cost of VM TV, I suspect there will be a change of strategy in the future. VM subscribers to their television packages may well find themselves subscribing direct to Sky via Now TV, with an alternative option available which will include Liberty Global exclusives, such as those available from all3media, which is owned by John Malone's Liberty Global.

If anything VM would be more likely to pull out of the tv market than allow nowtv on their devices.
Tbh though mate just get a ROKU box it has nowtv on it, netflix, amazon instant video it is much faster and stabler than the clinky tivo and cheaper too if you think about it.
