YouTube is available on Sky however not in UHD so basically only the same as the current VM Tivo.

Sky Movies is a subscription service and as a such won't be available on a pay per view basis no matter what you've been told.

Why not wait until an official press release from Virgin Media.

Indeed what source..

Somebody online in the App Store made a good point, how is it tv anywhere is you need to find a wifi hotspot

You get WiFi pretty much everywhere now though.

You really don't. Kids can't watch TV on a car trip

Your need a ton of data to be able to do that which is one reason it was limited to WiFi.

That's not Virgin medias concern

But maybe give us customers the choice. Like on my phone I can choose to stream material in Low med and high quality and one that with v6 will be limited, download to tablet. But even for streaming we do get to choose

Exactly virgin media needs to let customers decide

Well when the app was first out in to testing you could use it over mobile data. It was blocked on final release.

4G coverage in a moving car is patchy at best , better to download the show/movie so no Internet at all is needed.

Hi but if certain recordings from some channels are not allowed to download and we not near wifi what do we do. I think it should be called Tv WIFI

Shame that the ubiquitous wifi hotspots that are popping up everywhere are completely pathetic when it comes to actual bandwidth. O2 seem to have hotspots in nearly every pub chain and high street store but 20k/sec down and less up means I'd be better streaming on a potato.

4G is here, 3's 3G has been fast for a long time, so why they don't allow it over data like even the iPlayer does makes no sense. It's probably cost saving so they don't have to support more bitrates, but it makes the app useless.

I agree it ****es me off that with virgin media we live in a age where we can get different data levels and not use them. Now we can download recordings to a tablet on new v6 but there are content restrictions on what we can send to our tablet WOW

That restriction will most likely have come from the content providers, not VM.
