Plus Now TV is a subscription service, not a rental service, so you'll probably pay £5-£10 a month to watch Atlantic, Sky1, Sky Living, and Sky Arts, which is bad considering for an extra fiver you can get a Sky Go Pass and watch UKTV channels, National Geographic, History, the Channel 4 channels and some kids channels with On Demand
Was not aware of BlinkBox prices (forgot it existed, truth be told.) Still £2 per episode is rather expensive for a internet streaming service. Assuming there are 20-24 episodes per season you are looking at £40-£48 per series. roughly the price of a blu-ray boxset. Is the picture quality of BlinkBox is up to HD standard? If it is I will stand corrected, if it is not it seems very expensive.
I would hope you are right with regards the £5-£10 per month (for the people who want it) however Sky Sports is a £10 daily charge and I fear Sky will choose this type of deal (£x per episode) for Atlantic.
