I'm seriously considering ditching VM TV next February when my contract's up and moving to a NowTV/Humax Freeplay combo and just taking the broadband from Virgin. I wouldn't lose out on the Sky Sports, Cinema or box sets and would save around £50 a month even taking into account buying the Humax recorder. That'll probably work for us, regardless of what happens with the next round of Premiership overpaying

Add Amazon to that (I see you already have Netflix) and you are still making a big saving each month.
I may well take the same path in the future, but I will wait for some further developments before taking the plunge.
Of course, there could be some developments from VM that would persuade me to stay. If, for example, they come up with a lot of good exclusive material (eg through the LG association with Lionsgate, etc), they would be headed more in my direction.
I would really like the V6 to be developed into an open streaming box so that all the popular streaming services were on there. I thought that was the route VM were taking not so long ago, but now it's beginning to look like a lost opportunity.
Imagine that. A streaming box like Roku with all the cable channels and recording facilities to boot. That, I believe, would be extremely popular.
