Unless of course a deal can be done to get 'basic' Netflix as a free package with an add-on for the new stuff for an additional cost.

All I would say is keep an eye out for the missing Sky channels coming to VM early in the New Year. We might get more than is expected, but I stress this is only based on previous media speculation and things may have changed.
Virgin Media are known to have approached Amazon about getting Amazon Prime on the Tivo boxes, but the current state of negotiations ..... who knows? I think we may see some significant additions to our streaming services over the next few years, and most of this will be on either a subscription or pay per view basis.

After a year of being suggested here I just cant see it, they invested in their own "roku style" box and no further suggestion they will want to come onto platform providers in the way Netflix has embraced it

Technically it can't happen until 2015 anyway. The Amazon instant Prime video app has only just been added to the US Tivo Roamio, and won't be added to the Tivo Premier (which VM's Tivo is based on) until 2015.
The Amazon Fire TV has been available in the US for a good while now and Amazon still did a deal to add it to a Tivo box.

In a way Ginxtv is no longer a vm exclusive channel as it's now available on amazonfire tv for £1.49p/m it's the full channel plus loads of on demand stuff which brings me to thinking you guys will start seeing on demand stuff from Ginx in the near future, amazon and vm are the only carriers of Ginxtv though.
