There is a new box due to be released with access to Freeview channels and maybe more (details under wraps)
The Now TV is a customised Roku box. A 'proper' Roku box will give you many more apps but more importantly, access to Netflix and Amazon Prime, if you decide you want to subscribe to either one of them.

Sky movies via VM gives you 1080 and 5.1 sound.
Only you can work out whether the increased resolution and 5.1 sound is worth the extra cost. I suspect for many people it isn't, especially if they don't have a 5.1 audio system.

I had a call from VM offering me SKY Movies for £10 per month; which I turned down as it still wasn't worth it:

Thanks for the advice everyone.
It looks like the Rokus etc are only worth it if you want Netflix or Amazon. I don't, but could use Netflix via TiVo if I wanted to, so I don't think I'll bother.
