Mine so far are;
Lovefilm
Wikipedia
IMDB
Amazon
Play.com (mentioned in a review? but no sign atm)

Good picks.
Am I allowed to mention porn? HD-TV and the internet were basically made for it. I hope Virgin Media don't go all coy over it - but I expect they will. I won't be too specific here, but there are sites similar to YouTube that would fit neatly into the TiVo system.

Spotify - they were in talks with vm a while back - then heard nothing.
An simple email client would be a good idea
Even better would be to release a devkit, and AppStore to choose which you actually want on your screen.

ForumRunner or similer type app to allow forum reading. I say reading because without a keyboard things would be painful.

Do they even operate in the UK? I can't say I've had the pleasure to eat their pizzas. Actually, to be honest, the Domino's I had on Saturday was the first pizza takeaway I've had in 6 years!

Pizza Hut don't operate takeaway in my area anymore, and I'm sure that I can use all those iPod/Wii/Xbox things to calculate my fitness xD

Here are some apps I would like to see in the near future:
Facebook, Last.fm, Amazon, Play.com, Lovefilm, Spotify, Engadget, CNET, IMDB and Wikipedia.

Perhaps not as an app, but the sort of remove server-based video-gaming described by The Register could be a good fit for VM's machine. It has its own network connection that is already good enough to deliver HD video, so it ought to be able to cope with the bandwidth needed for games. Doing that without eating into your broadband allowance would be a major benefit.

Heard rumour that Vevo are going to launch in the UK.
Much like youtube but dedicated to music videos.
So any chance of a Vevo app when it appears

Can't see that they will host a film provider in competition to their on demand service.

If you read this article, you can see that VM would do that.

Picturebox is basically a on demand film service that could be seen as competing with Virgin ?
It sounds like Virgin do plan to open the platform up as I suspect they would take a cut for hosting the service so still get money from whatever apps are available.

PictureBox is already available via VM; £5 pm, I think.
