The problem with that is we all want different things! For example, some want prices pegged as low as possible while others want more channels at any cost. Plus, you have content providers like Sky who dictate terms.

My view is that VM should continue to strive to provide the best possible choice at the best possible price, but also provide us with the means to watch content from as many of the missing channels as possible (eg through Amazon and Now TV). That way, VM subscribers can choose to pay for additional content without impacting on those who are not interested.

Yes, I know we can do this anyway by other means, but it would prefer to be able to access through one box, not a multitude of boxes and streaming sticks, which all cost extra and are less convenient.

If NDTV India is a VM-exclusive news channel, what is the fate of NDTV 24x7, which broadcasts the same content?

Is it right that if you have a Smart LG tv, you can access Now TV for £6.99 a month? That will give you access to Sky Atlantic and other XL TV channels on VM. This is cheaper than Netflix.

Maybe this is why VM have been reluctant to enter into any new carriage deals lately (apart from QVC which Malone has an interest in and minor channels for a niche audience).

NDVT is in Hindi and NDTV 24x7 English, so presumably both can exist on the platform.

If it's got the Now TV app on it then yes. But the channels are in SD only and XL has many, many more channels.
The basic version of Netflix is £5.99 a month so still cheaper than Now TV but you can get deals on Now TV to make it cheaper than £5.99 a month.

I borrow a family member's Sky GO and that is in HD, I'm surprised Now TV is only SD.

I think Netlifx has just gone up, mine is now £7.49 for HD 2 screens.
