BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, C&I , History, Nat Geo, SKY Atlantic, SKY One, SKY Living, SKY Arts and SKY Sports all now on catch up.
Do people now consider SKY to be the most comprehensive supplier of catch up TV in the UK?

I hardly ever use catch up or on demand, to the point where I can almost say that I never use it. So I can't say really. But at one point VM were the King for on demand and catch up.
But I've been watching how Sky have addressed that situation and been really impressed with the amount of content they have added. This would be a guess, but I suspect that there is nothing between VM and Sky in this aspect and they are level pegging; Sky may even be nudging ahead?

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
VM have the luxury with their STB's that it doesn't require a seperate Internet connection and is available on non PVR boxes that said I would say Sky now probably has a more comprehensive range of catchup content , VM possibly has the edge when it comes to library content although Sky's is increasing all the time.

All I can tell you is its defo coming its was part of the agreement signed between Sky and Channel 4 , I saw someone speculating on DS forum that VM's exclusive agreement for Film 4 HD was started in July 2010 if it was a three year deal that would mean the deal expired July this year however its all speculation.
