Is 3g/4g mobile playback on the app still coming soon too? Find it hard to believe that there is no android app still and even the apple users can only use it on wifi.

Thought VM would have tried to keep up with Sky with these type of things.

When will VM let customers use the app over 3g/4g?
When will android users be able to actually use TVanywhere?
Why are VM six months or more behind Sky on mobile device streaming?
Is there a chance that VM care little about this side of their services?

Just seems to be a lot of silence regarding this area of the business.

They offer a lot more channels than Sky so I'd say no.

Rather have quality than quantity and sadly were the vm side concerned it lacks quality

How does it lack quality? The service is great on PC & iOS.

I think when VM carry movies and sports on TV Anywhere app then Sky need to add more channels IMO

VM have more channels, boxsets and on demand on their streaming app than Sky?

Even if this was the case, VM are still way behind as their android customers, which are a larger percentage than apple users now, cant use any of them channels anyway. The ios users are also restricted to wifi compared to sky's app which works over mobiles data network too.

So saying that VM has more channels does not counter the argument that VM don't care so much about the streaming side of things

With the limited data allowances on most peoples 3G tarrifs, watching streaming video over 3G can be a very short experience per month before you reach your cap

Don't want to lug a laptop and can't carry a pc round with me there so vm anywhere certainly ain't anywhere for me I want to watch sports movies or even demand on my ipad
