I mainly watch sport, but everything is time shifted so recording is a must. Going to Rugby/Cricket on a Saturday means I would not be around to watch.

I suppose if NowTV was a proper streaming service with full coverage of matches available for say a week (as football/rugby on Prime is) that would suffice - however I believe it is just a method of watching live TV.

Streamers: What I pay now, less 10%.

Suits my wife and me fine price-wise. I would keep the linears for her to watch via on demand watchlists, mainly because she’s not happy getting into the streamers (although it is probably easier under this system, if only more apps were available).

I think VM is on the right lines here, but needs improvement. More apps and multi-view should be considered for the future.

As for your ‘irrational aversion’ comment, ‘irrational’ it certainly isn’t, but we won’t go around that loop again.

If I read the terms correctly and it was just very quick skip read. Seemed to say not with any existing virgin services. So if you have a V6 you can't have it. Having said that I m not interested . So those of you that look at these things closely , it that correct ?

Re: Streaming services news, offers and general chit chat

It’s only available to broadband and broadband & phone customers from today. Personally, I’d get a Roku if you want streaming apps

Agreed - don't always watch the Welsh, N Irish and Scottish games on Sky - but I do like the option of doing so (especially when the Scots lose) - however I am not prepared to pay a penny extra to watch on a streamer

Indeed. The question was about a person with a V6 box, and that is what my answer related to.

Kinda obvious, really. ;)

Swapping a recording box for a dumb box for the sole reason it's a streaming one is completely irrational.

It depends on your viewing habits.
