Even the full content versions of the tv player apps are available on Freeview.
VM used to lead the way with its ingenious Catch Up and On Demand services years ago, sadly this service has become quite dire in comparison to the other providers. VM need to realise that live linear tv is becoming more obsolete now more than ever with the younger generations, who are the future subscribers and bill payers, and invest more in On Demand services if they are to survive.
Virgin negotiated the full version of My5 last year (although it has yet to appear).
I agree with you that VM really need to take this more seriously and get a reputation for being the destination to view all players and streamers. Otherwise, Virgin will always be trailing Sky in the popularity stakes. I don't understand why they keep settling for second best.
