My point exactly, why should one provider have exclusive rights, just make them illegal. Then we as consumers could choose between many providers.

You would have 3 or 4 broadcast TV providers but maybe 10 or 20 IPTV providers, or like you can get MLB as an app on XBOX.Splitting content to many providers cost the consumer more.

But making all content available to all providers is just an outright excellent idea, so you could have BT-Atlantic, Sky-Atlantic, Virgin-Atlantic, TALKTALK-Atlantic, plus normal channels like the BBC,ITV C4,C5 Etc could offer all content like HBO and EPL.

It could end up that Freview/Freesat actually has some great content and we don't need to have Paytv,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'M ALL FOR THAT!!!!

My Smart TV has loads of apps, no reason why it can't have a EPL app. I don't mind if it's not in HD as long as I get to see it live.
