i have Netflix on my Roku and my smart blu-ray. Never used the service- not even signed up for the free month.

Even at £7pm i have not been interested in subscribing.

The US version seems to offer a lot more content than the UK version. There are ways round getting round geographic restrictions and getting the US service and when watching on your PC etc but on TIVO i would think that would not be possible.

Sky Atlantic is just one channel- it has a couple of shows i like - Blue Bloods, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. But this has not made me abandon VM and run to Sky. I would think Sky would have realised they are not going to attract any new customers for the sake of this channel alone and would be keen to get it carried on other platforms and increase their advertising revenue instead.

Both would be nice but i wouldnt pay more for either tbh.

the original poll question is based if they were included in a pack - for me thats XL. I suppose i vote Netflix as it would offer a bit more than SA.
