Well that's true.. I'm just starting to create a YouTube playlist of all the stuff that's now gone from MoD but missing from Vevo. So much for an improved service.
It's also something else that's gone from the list of "XL gives you more than L". The list is still long enough to justify the extra spend for me, but it's certainly shorter than it was.

True, but there is a not insignificant chunk of people that use TiVo that wouldn't know the first thing about streaming sticks or Smart TVs.
Having YouTube, Vevo and Spotify (and Netflix) available via TiVo gives an understandable route into those services.

Let's hope they don't associate the VM Tivo load times with those services.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
They can show re runs of EastEnders all day as far as l am concerned - don't watch it. I stopped watching it in the days of Leslie Grantham.
Its like when the soap awards are on. You can near enough say who will win it.
One year it will be EastEnders, then the following year it will be Corrie.
There re much better soaps on then these two

They run all right on my Tivo. It's just the loading that takes an age. Once in, it's as good as on other platforms.

According to that article, UK TV must think that 'Smart Women' watch Eastenders!
UK TV have just re-defined 'Smart'.
