Take this as an example. All I was saying was that there is a demand out there for everything to be on one box, so that one could subscribe to a platform (eg Virgin Media or Sky) search for a programme that was available on any app on the system, and to bookmark that programme to watch later, so it is listed with your recordings.

It currently works on the V6 but it won’t work on the 360, and some of you seem to think that Netflix is standing in the way.

I don’t know if you thought I was saying anything other than that - perhaps you thought I was talking about total integration (which I wasn’t). I was clearly talking about searching and bookmarking these apps in the same way as you can on the V6. That is all (although obviously further sophistication would be nice).

The reason I have just linked to the ‘Must TV’ article was to show that this continued to be possible.

I hope that clarifies the position.
What you said...

"There is a demand out there for everything on one box" is quite different from "It has been recognised that having all your content in one list is what most people want."

How do you know "most people want" this, and recognised by whom?

I hope this clarifies the position...
