Brilliant, :D

Well let's get the record straight. Linear broadcast channels I believe will all but have disappeared by 2035.

Tell that to the Beeb, Den. I'm sure they will value your input and change their plans accordingly.

It would appear Mr Murdoch has also started or is looking to add the streaming services on his other services around the world.

Tata Sky (India) are adding Netflix , Amazon and Hotstar

FOXTEL (Australia) are looking to bundle Netflix and Stan

No point having Amazon on the V6 if it's going to cost more.

It won't cost more to existing Amazon subscribers and those who don't want it don't have to have it.

But does it not cost more even when BT have it soon on their platform?.

Not that I'm aware of, Den. That would mean that BT viewers would be paying twice over.

VM doesn't charge for Netflix - we pay our subscriptions directly to Netflix, not VM. So it would not make sense for BT to charge viewers separately for the 'privilege' of accessing it on their STB.

ITV is looking at buying a stake in UKTV, the broadcaster behind channels including Dave, Yesterday and Gold.

A report by The Telegraph indicates any deal would have to be done in the next fortnight.

UKTV is currently a joint venture between the BBC's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, and Discovery, following its takeover of original shareholder Scripps Networks.

Under a clause in the original contract with Scripps, in the event Scripps sells to another company, BBC Worldwide has first refusal over the 50% stake it doesn't own. This 'right to buy' expires in the next fortnight.

Earlier this month, The Guardian reported that the BBC and ITV, as well as Channel 4 are considering a service that would compete with Netflix. The Telegraph report implies that a potential BBC/ITV deal over UKTV could boost competition with Netflix.

All parties have declined to comment on the reports.

Nick Play launching as a new video app on Virgin Media. It's not actually appeared on my system yet, though.
