As you say, Netflix don't charge extra for this.
The content providers/channel providers are greedy and are trying to get more money for services such as this on Tivo. They won't be getting any extra money from me for what you describe above, and really, they need a smack round the head for being so greedy. But VM aren't blameless, as they knew the current rights issues and should have been sorting these out from the very start. OFCOM should look into this as well IMHO.
TV providers are preventing progress and laying the ground for more people, "Cutting the cord" and rebelling against their unreasonable restrictive rules. The sooner all worldwide content is legitimately available via subscription, the better.
