Sure, there are people out there willing to pay £6.99/mth on top of their VM subs just to get Sky Atlantic / ITV Encore but it isn't good value for money. Sure, Now TV has lots of offers and the entertainment pass is available for less but with a lot of messing around chasing for deals.
There's a lot of duplication of channels available on VM within the entertainment pack, I can't see VM wanting to make it available as a Tivo app. On balance we see more people on here complaining about price increases than the lack of Sky Atlantic. Adding a service that duplicates some of what is already available in a lower cost package would just be giving Sky a free advert to attract VM customers wanting a cheaper deal.
As for a Now TV app specifically tailored to VM and excluding sports and movies. That's not what Now TV is about and there are 2 problems on that front; VM won't want it potentially stealing their customers. Sky won't want to offer a reduced package, their marketing policy is to get Now TV users to add the other packs.
