I need to get some more posts on here to make the top posters list. As long as I am in the top 100 posters for the year I will be happy.

I remember seeing Lovefilm (on Watchdog I think It was) and their agents had been lying about the terms and conditions for the first free month and the cancellation policy.

The programme also exposed Lovefilm as employing tactics to try to stop or delay customers from cancelling.

To be fair, this was at least a year ago, so things might have improved since.

Why? Because it would be stupid of Virgin not to try and get this service in to its flagship package. And if they did try, it would be idiotic of Netflix to refuse to do a deal.
I suspect that like, for example, ESPN, Netflix have worked out that it is more profitable and less exposed to customer churn to have a small cut of every XL fee, than to have a relatively small number of standalone subscribers.

Other benefits include better advertising revenue (if Netflix does have advertising) and income from customers (like myself) who would not think to subscribe to an online subscription service.
