I don't know MM, I just know they have far more TV series than we get. We can't really grumble about the movies, though. We get PPV films as soon as they are out on Filmflex, after 6 months they are on Sky Movies and then they can appear anywhere after 2 years. The advantage of Netflix getting the film rights from 6 months is that they will provide competition for Sky Movies, thereby bringing prices down. If they take over from Sky Movies with all their exclusive deals, assuming that may come about, I can safely drop Sky Movies altogether!

I appreciate that prices at Netflix will go up as a result, but it will be cheaper for us overall.

I know you don't think it fits their existing model, but models change, and as I said, they have declared their interest in the studio rights.
