Unfortunately these seem to be most of the American imported series like Hawaii five O.

Cheers. I'm not too fussed about hd, but the American content is a bit annoying. I'm fairly certain Hawaii 5-0 was there at one point, but are any staff members kindly able to explain why we haven't got NCIS etc? Rights?

Not sure, essjay may know.

I've a sneaky suspicion DF that the bulk of VM's content is Anytime+ which bar movies on Sky is all SD , the Sky Help Forum have said over the coming months that HD will be introduced to Anytime+ starting with Sky1.

So in other words as a sky customer you get anytime. Plug your stb into a router and you get anytime and anytime+, and what we're getting is just the anytime+ part of that service ie the download by internet part as opposed to the download by satellite part?

Some content could be rights issues but I believe HD Sky content will turn up soon on VM , could it be linked to HD joining Sky Anytime+ ? I'm guessing here.

Just looking at the Sky Anytime on TIVO , I like the new layout makes finding your show easier , broken down to genre then ABC etc.

I'm not back in the office until tomorrow will have a look whats on the VM schedule. Obviously this could be different to the Sky Anytime schedule.

I do know why some programmes are not available but due to company confidentiality I am unable to say.

Cheers guys for all the answers.

Very intriguing answer from essjay, which I guess means this is something we may never know!

Let the speculation commence :-)
