Sky Now, when it launches, is rumoured to have subscription options, and that is the serrvice from sky that is aimed as competition for netflix/Lovefilm as well as aiming to attract viewers to Sky who don't want a dish and or don't want to be tied into long term contracts. It is actually a very smart move by Sky.
