Cable Forum - VOD Netflix/Streaming Services

I do, which is why I said I hope Virgin add it. However, if they are to be recognised as a super aggregator of content, which is the aim now, streaming services such as these really must be part of the VM offering.

Apple want to get this on multiple platforms to encourage people to sign up.

Well we shall see OB but l remain pretty doubtful that it will get added quickly if ever.

That's fair enough, it's what's known as choice.

Apple TV+ will be available on any device that supports the new Apple TV app. The initial list includes Apple devices (such as the iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV set-top box), select smart TVs (from Sony, Samsung, LG, and Vizio), as well as Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices.

What the article actually says is:

How much does Apple TV+ cost?

It'll cost just $4.99 per month for a family subscription in the US.

To encourage signups, Apple will offer anyone who buys an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV one year of Apple TV+ for free. You'll be able to subscribe to and watch Apple TV+ at tv.apple.com on the web via the Safari, Chrome, or Firefox browser.

So I don't think you will get it free if you already own one of these devices. The way I read it is that if you buy an Apple device, you will be offered a free subscription.

If you had a lemonade stall and I started selling lemonade 50 yards down the road at 5/8ths of the price, do you think you'd keep the same number of customers you had yesterday?
