Being able to see shows as they are aired is important to some people.
And UK Netflix just isn't going to get the rights to most US shows shown on UK pay TV channels. Or if they do, it will be a few years later.
Netflix wins on overall content, but not on being current.

Totally agree PB , you know my feelings since Netflix introduced its original content and got some more recent content its gone from strength to strength its also a leader on the technology front not to mention superb pq and audio. I just don't get a comparison between a few channels and an entire On Demand library most people have pay TV to pick shows across multiple channels not to mention multiple genres from a myriad of broadcasters.
