No reason at all. However that's still not comparable to Virgin Media's VOD. It doesn't offer anything like the breadth of programming that VM offers, and it wouldn't even match TopUpTV, which is broadcasting to your box, using acres of terrestrial UHF bandwidth, rather than being squeezed down the relative confines of an ADSL connection.
