I agree - with the economic times we are living through - surely Sky and VM have a vested interest in keeping the overall number of Subscriptions ( for Sky+VM) up as high as they can ( overall advertsing )

they need to co-operate very closely

I read somewhere that the number of subscriptions in the USA for linear TV ( ie Sky / VM channels ) is falling rapidly

a United Front is needed from SKY/VM ( ie put Sky Atlantic on VM etc etc ) or it could go the same way here

Trust me I won't be ditching linear TV completely in favour of streaming , not until they can offer me a seamless operation with at least 1080i picture.

Yes because they have Hulu (Plus) and Netflix which is essentially premium catchup and older shows. You can access pretty much any episode of any show and a boatload of films for something like $20 a month.

But the UK have a different TV model than the US and quite a lot of Sky and VM customers are watching the football so they can't be compared IMO.
