Nothing of any significance to Virgin Media customers. It's all just smoke and mirrors to give the illusion that Sky is even better than ever ��

TV side of things seems perfectly fine to me.

We've got all the Sky channels (except one), Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV, Disney+ and soon HBO Max all integrated into the 360, plus all the free channels and apps.

Hardly 'given up'.

VM need to realise that now is the time to strike when it comes to making deals with streaming companies. They are now so many of them and the market is over saturated. Time to make deals to include streaming subscriptions within the top tier of tv packages.

disney plus with ads, paramount plus with ads i think would work well for all parties. If they wanted without ads they directly give disney or paramount an extra 3 odd quid

More or less yes the direction from both is certainly moving towards tv over broadband (no old boy linear tv isn't going anywhere).

Why would I need them to be?

Netflix is included in my Virgin Media package.

Disney+ is free (included with my bank account).

The others I just dip in and out depending on what's available.

Easy life.
