I was saying that Sky uses disk space for both on-demand content and Adsmart, and the reason why was probably the same, that they wouldn't want a delay because of a inconsistent internet connection, so downloading to disk in advance is the answer.
Then I said VM's tech was better (in this regard at least) so they don't need to do this for on-demand, so therefore likely wouldn't need to for Adsmart.
Obviously a "live content stream" isn't "on-demand", I wasn't saying it was, I was simply saying that because Sky use a method for on-demand, and use the same method for Adsmart, the reasoning was probably the same.
I sincerely apologise if my written words in both my prior posts on this thread and right now don't convey this to you, or others. What I believed I was saying in my brain obviously didn't make it to screen as well as I thought. I didn't realise it could be misinterpreted quite so much.
Maybe I should have just said in reply to Richard:
Yes, I believe that is what happens on Sky, I haven't a clue what VM do, but at a guess they probably don't.
