Sure, I could record the games - but why do that if its on VOD? I'm sure the people who watch EastEnders and other soaps on VOD could tape those episodes too - but chances are, they don't.

Why not?

I and millions of other footy fans know the results of games at 4.50pm on Saturday (and even know who scored, when and how) - but that still doesn't stop people from watching Match of the Day almost six hours later. Or watching highlights of those games the next day on Sky Sports / MoTD 2.

Even if NTL only had yesterday's games on VOD, that would be great. They would be daft not to take advantage of their VOD capability during one of the biggest sporting tournaments in the world, IMO. Plus its good publicity for them and Cable TV in general.
