Re: Is exclusive and original content important to a pay tv platform now ?

Sorry, can't answer your question with the options provided. I think it depends on how much choice of content there is, if its exclusive and/or original. It's a big, big question - as an example I subscribe to BT Sport but get AMC as well, I'm not exactly thrilled about the content from AMC but someone else in the family may be. I also subscribe to Sky, Netflix & Prime mainly because of the huge range of programming offered, picture & sound quality as well as reliability also influence my choice.

I left VM recently because I feel they have a number of problems: Tivo, Tivo software, very poor OD service, lack of 5.1 sound on a number of shows (which was there on my Sky box), poor EPG for setting recordings.

My point is that all these things would need fixing (from my perspective) before I'd even consider what choice they were offering in terms of programming - in other words, get the basics right first. I really don't think that increasing BB speed to 200Mbs over 150Mbs is going to make a difference to many people, especially when you read on here that folks are having trouble getting enough speed to watch something on iPlayer.

Sorry MM, I'm going to have choose Not Sure on this one because its a great big can of worms you've opened
