That has to be the biggest WTF momemnt of the day.

So I take it that you do not watch a single show or movie that has any affiliation with News Corp?

It must be quite hard to watch TV/Movies avoiding anything even slightly connected to the Murdochs.

All Sky Sports
All FOX productions including Movies and the FX channel and spin offs 20th century TV, Searchlight.
All Sky branded channels
The Murdoch's have a big share in HBO

I've just had a look at the Picturebox website. In fairness, the arrival of Bigfoot and the Hendersons does appear to be part of a general 80's themed event, but it is hard to justify a monthly sub of £4.99 when you compare that to what's available on LoveFilm and Netflix for not much more. Perhaps the arrival of those services on TiVo is being fought by Picturebox??? I couldn't see them (Picturebox) lasting for too long against such serious competition without drastically improving their offering.

Picturebox's revenue doesn't just come from VM it's on many other platforms and also connected TVs.

I know. Does that mean they won't be trying to protect their position in Virgin's line up?

It's not hard. I don't have any moral objection to watching their stuff, but it simply doesn't interest me.

Nothing made by Fox/Sky/HBO interests you? I must be far to low brow and tabloid as me an my family enjoy quite a few of their shows.

Sounds like freeview/freesat would work for you. Do you get TV from VM?
