- Much better VOD content. When you look at what you can buy in terms of box sets, I would have thought that we could have had a much better choice on the XL package. Don't mind if some of them are PPV, but they should ensure that viewing by VOD would be cheaper than actually buying the box sets from the shops (you are, after all, only renting for a specific time period).
- VM should do a deal with a good supplier (eg Lovefilm) to provide us with video streamed films and programmes. This could be provided to VM viewers via TIVO by way of subscriptions or PPV.
When you look at whether to go for satellite or cable, content is everything. Virgin Media should excel in this area - there is no excuse not to.
This would then silence those who keep asking for more channels and comparing unfavourably with Sky.
It all seems so easy. Why do VM not do this?

I was just trawling down memory lane, and look what I found from 2011!
Amazingly, some of this has already happened, and I am particularly glad to see that the streaming idea has been implemented (although with Netflix rather than Lovefilm/Amazon!).
