Sorry, Andrew, I don't understand the relevance of that argument. I am a Virgin TV customer, and I get Now TV through my smart TV. What difference would it make to Virgin if Now TV Entertainment Pack was an app on their offering? Well, it would stop the complaints about the lack of Sky Atlantic, for one thing, as well as satisfying Malone's objective of providing maximum content without necessarily acquiring the rights to it himself. The presence of Netflix and Hayu on the VM platform are an examples of this strategy.
The advantage for Sky is that it increases its revenue, as Virgin viewers will have the option of paying them £6.99 pm for basically just two extra channels!
The fact that Sony doesn't have a wholesale deal with Sky or sell broadband are red herrings and make absolutely no difference in relation to the argument I am putting forward.

No, it's the basic 720p HD picture quality, which doesn't look at all bad on my TV.
