I think the most essential part of skys biusiness is sky sports (retailing to other pay tv providers) rather then movies,its now becoming the only place to watch live sporting action,people i know have sports but not movies as they say the same movies come around week after week,my mate had sky movies half price for three months and filled his hard drive up and cancelled them.
With movies also there are many more outlets myself if i am interested in a movie i usually buy it from amazon on dvd to keep.

I understand that they want their platform to have a selling point over rivals but they'd rather be making money from Sky Movies customers on Virgin than have Netflix supply them with movies.

These day i think sky keep a bit back for themselves but are more content to sell to rivals now that OFCOM has involved itself once in the pay tv review and they know they are being carefully watched.
Coupled with the fact its good buisiness for pay tv rivals to work together and make some money then let freeview/freesat mop up.
