i know im a dreamer but surely something must be done to protect the consumer more. Where in theory vm will bring you benefits for some stuff and sky benefits for other stuff but having both costs too much.
But why should TV be any different? Its odd how a reasonable amount of posters on here think Sky are in the wrong about the whole exclusivity deals, but no-one seems to complain about Netflix or Amazon Prime having exclusive content. What is the difference?
