As long as they don't keep cutting you off in error, as they keep doing to your good self!
Last weeks Watchdog slated Now TV for a number of reasons, including it going off during crucial football matches, being given a ridiculously short window to view box sets etc.

It's about halfway through for anyone interested

Now TV is an option. But it is a very poor substitute for an HBO Go service because it doesn't have back seasons always available.
But people who pay a lot for the XL TV package feel it is wrong to have to shell out even more to get HBO content via Now TV, when all the main Sky channels used to be included in the cost of XL. TV.

Indeed.

In industry this is fine but in a tv landscape with one company butchering creativity and destroying consumers choice by basically saying "you can have that or that but not both" something should be done
If I was a billionaire id launch my own channel and buy up as much as I could as exclusive content and then give it away to bt and virgin for free. And then sky trundled up my front path smugly asking for it id grab them by the balls and ask for the earth.

Me too. A vile company who I refuse to do business with.
