Streaming services need to be extremely careful with the likes of Netflix raising prices in times where living costs are at a all time high could price the likes of Netflix out of peoples price range.

Very interesting. A new model for TV content will be needed soon.

Is that how VM explain the lack of streaming services on the V6 and 360?

I will ditch the TV channels before I dump the streaming services, so it’s VM that need to watch out. I may be making my decision to do just that when my existing contract runs out, because we are getting to the point now where everything on the pay TV channels is on the streamers as well.

All that is needed is an AVOD version of the streamers. That will address the financial squeeze that people are starting to endure.

What makes streamers believe advertisers will make up the shortfall? After all, who wants to advertise to people who have little/no money left over for discretionary expenditure.

That assumes that people with money wouldn't watch AVOD services.

Not really. Some people don’t pay for their TV (other than the licence fee) on principle.

A couple of our friends are millionaires but they don’t subscribe to any pay TV channels or streamers. They are happy enough with the free stuff.

Disney+ is the only streamer I need because you get the latest films around 60 days after releasing in cinemas, shows from stations like ABC, FX, Fox and Disney Channel now debut here. All for £80 annually! What’s not to like?

I get free Netflix from my uncle (but rarely use it) and Spotify also provides decent value.

See for me Disney + just doesn’t have the variety of content others do , I’m not interested in Marvel or Star Wars and the kids have grown out of the younger stuff. Disney don’t seem to have done enough with the Star content , it has a decent back catalogue but if you’ve seen a lot of it that loses appeal.

I'm considering subscribing to Disney+ as it's part of Tesco Club Card deals where £8 of vouchers gets you a 3 month subscription, so can't go wrong with that price?

Are we able to account share like we can currently with Netflix until they stop it?
