Movies and tv shows are covered by either neflix/lovefim or buying of itunes or the DVD box sets. A legal way for sport is the killer until this resolved for the most part Virgin and Sky will be sheltered. If the rumoured news that Apple and Google looking at the streaming rights of games then are in trouble.
Virgin is more of a Internet company than a TV company anyway, this could mean the end of sky, also, I better get my Apple HDTV soon then!

I could live with that, that would be less then watching 3 HD movies from Flimflex.

For anyone interested in who's got what:

  • Netflix says it has film and TV from All3Media, BBC Worldwide, CBS, Channel 4’s 4oD, Disney UK & Ireland, ITV, Lionsgate UK, MGM, Miramax, Momentum Pictures, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox and Viacom International Media Networks.
  • In the pay-TV movie window, Sky Movies currently has exclusive deals with Hollywood’s six largest studios (Sony, Disney, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros. & Universal) for linear and SVOD via subscription.
  • In the second pay-TV movie window, Lovefilm has exclusive deals with Sony Pictures and Warner Bros., as well as delas with Entertainment One, Studio Canal (formerly Optimum Releasing), Disney, Lionsgate and Momentum. In TV, Lovefilm just signed deals to add archive ITV and BBC Worldwide shows.
I hope we do get Neflex and Lovefilm soon on VM
