SA is going to be a niche market. Look how many viewers some of those programmes were getting on terrestrial.
Whilst having SA would have been a welcome addition for the odd show, there is more than enough content on VM, be it VOD or linear tv channels.
Sky will make a lot of noise about it (SA) of course, like they always do  |
But with respect DF are you a typical Joe Bloggs TV subscriber?
Most people don't have a clue what Tivo or any hardware is, or care. All they want to do is get home from work, feed the kids and get on the sofa with the missus and watch TV, most people are not techies like many of us!
If you honestly think more people would choose a STB for a couple of hundred pounds over a free PVR and a channel showing their favourite shows then good luck to you, but I think you are wrong.
If you asked the average VM subscriber (not us on here) would they rather have Tivo or Sky Atlantic and more HD channels I bet I know what would win, and hands down.
