Indeed. I'd like to see figures for for cancellations after the autumn rugby, for one. I know they're going to be unlikely to stumble over. I certainly found the Prime cancellation process hard to come across - Doctor Google was far more help than Amazon's own sight. Again - hardly a surprise.

The effect of the latest round of price rise announcements will be interesting, too..

Sky had been lagging behind VM in the 'all in one place' offering for some time, but it's really going for it now as promoted here:

VM need to make sure they don't fall behind. It's the big ones like Disney+ and Spotify that are the most obvious omissions.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

VM used to have Spotify. I was under the impression it disappeared as the original Tivo couldn't cope with advances in the app, not meeting the requirements, and the V6 wasn't around then to my recollection.

I can't get it on my Roku for the same reason, though it's available on newer models.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

My understanding is that Spotify stopped on all version of TiVo

Was it someone like Curzon? Universal rings a bell too.

Picture Box maybe?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That's the one.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Maybe now with the launch of Virgin TV 360 it's a perfect opportunity to get Spotify back on VM.

l cannot remember for the life of me who it was that said the day of reckoning was coming for Sky.;)

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

As long as Sky embraces streaming services, this company is going nowhere. The future for Sky TV channels is, well, let’s say, debatable, but the Sky service should have a decent future, probably through IPTV rather than satellites ultimately.

I think Comcast should keep them focussed on the right preparations for the future, before events start to dictate. Their belated decision to offer Prime and being the first to offer Disney + and Discovery+ are very good signs.

It’s VM that is being left behind at the moment.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

30 original films in one year is quite a number - and one probably borne out of necessity once theatrical exhibition cratered (And I expect a few of those titles to have been once earmarked for theatrical like Blithe Spirit) but it’s probably the right direction to go in - and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them lean on more British product much like Sky Italia do with local language films.
