Re: The threat of streaming services

Realistically, you view is only going to appeal to Virgin customers on the m package, who pay little, if anything for their TV, but will need to keep a decent internet connection to take advantage of streaming services. Bear in mind that catch up TV is already available on some freeview boxes by plugging it in to your router. You view has had problems, and won't do much more than existing products already can. In addition, those likely to pay for on demand programming are probably already doing so and with Tivo, Virgin are uniquely placed as a platform to offer access to many streaming services AND a linear channel line up which compares well with Sky, who are increasingly looking like a one trick pony.
