TBH, I would be staggered if we see any VOD content from any of the Sky Channels. They provide the minimum they can get away with to non-sky subscribers.

I mean look at all the Interactive stuff they have on Sky one, Sky Sports etc. There is no technical reason why they cannot provide Interactive on NTL/Telewest, but they don't.

As for other channels, well, I suspect it's just a case of waiting for NTL and the TV Companies to sort out VOD rights for the programmes. Yes, VOD and on line broadcasting rights are considered to be seperate to the right to show the programme.
