I have to agree. I had the misfortune, due to a combination of moving home, VMs inaccurate postcode checker and my own stupidity, to sign for a year of BT Vision (luckily it only worked for 9 of the 12 months) a few years ago, and Picture Box was included. Although they claim 7 new films a week, they come back around with formidable regularity. ET for instance was very rarely not one of the 30 available.
Then several years later, we got a free trial on VM. I looked and voilla, the same movies!
It is low end stuff, more suited to the people who want just a bit more than Freeview rather than those who are prepared to pay more for Sky & VM.
I'd go so far as to say that the sort of content that it offers would generate more revenue if adverts were inserted and it was offered for free to as many people as possible.
