Why would adding an app to TIVO be clever , Sky's wholesale deal with VM nets them far more than they'd ever get through the app as many of the subscriber base wouldnt bother with it.

Cause Sky can offer Atlantic to VM customers and reap the money themselves rather than cutting the cost with VM and VM saying they have atlantic

Look at your poll results , not many people would bother making wholesaling far more lucrative for Sky and a preferred option for VM.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
I never know anything but sky atlantic will eventually come to virgin media. It's inevitable. It'll be either when costs for the shows goes up and they need to cover costs, a new boss comes in with a "ground breaking new strategy which involves making tons of money quick or hbo turns around and says they want sky to increase viewership etc
Just like sky with held the basic channels because it made sense at the time these things will change again.
Just how long it'll take is anyone's guess
