I've got sky sports and it works on TV anywhere if the memsahib is watching Constapation Street I can have the sport on the laptop. Streaming channels should show them all and includes the movies

You will have sports if you're watching TV Anywhere on your laptop. It's the TV Anywhere iPhone/iPad APP where you can't watch sports or movies and have limited channel availability.

Do Virgin have a linux app for their TV anywhere? That would actually impress me
Technically Sky Go works on Linux as android is a flavour of linux. If VM have a linux app it wouldn't take much work to port it to android and satisfy customers with those phones/tablets.

With a bit of programming and searching google you can get sky go and netflix to work on linux. Netflix actually has a unofficial app for linux too
I've only used virgins anytime tv on my pc so i wouldn't know about it's app as my phone is Android (hint hint vm lol).

I'm with you on this one, Sports and Movies are a must for the ipad, would rather Virgin delivered that than Atlantic.

Had Netflix and some other similar apps on my modified firmware WDTV which runs on a cut down linux too. Got a Synology NAS now which also runs a flavour of linux and was wondering if the Sky go app could stream through it. Was reading about DVBlink and it seems with a USB pen attached you can record tv straight to the NAS hard drive which can then be streamed to any device on the network. More stuff to play with, linux based hardware is cool

So is it a rights issue that stops VM from letting their TV streaming app work over 3G/4G, or is it the problem of utilising different quality/sized streams of the same content?
