Most People have a finite amount of money to spend on entertainment. Adding apps that cost money to get streamed content might make VM customers reduce their VM TV package - on the other hand not having the apps might make people leave.
Although that is a concern, I think that offering apps on the Sky and Virgin Media platforms is the way to go. It's what people want and it is such features that will attract customers. Price structuring is important, so for example you could say that the video apps (apart from existing on demand and catch up services) are only available to Full House subscribers.

Now that Sky have seen the light and are adding Netflix to Sky Q, Virgin Media needs to get its act together by getting Amazon and other apps on its system.
