The Netflix offering is very different to what is offered on Sky movies. Price for a starters; only six quid a month as against £26 per month for Sky movies in HD and 5.1 audio. (much of Netflix is HD with a lot with 5.1 audio).

Sky movies does not have TV series; Netflix have loads. Most of the films on Netflix are older (hence the cheaper price) but they do have some recent films, e.g. The Hobbit and The Hunger Games.

Netflix would be a completely different additional offering to what is currently available on VM, and would be a convenient way for people who don't want an extra box to access it.
