Sorry Old Boy but that's a silly comparison , Netflix offers loads of content but as a Sky or VM subscriber you have access over the course of a year to far more content whether its content that's worth paying the difference for is down to the individual.

How many hours of sports action do XL TV subscribers get with inclusive BT Sport , Sky Movies is an Add on with over a 1,000 movies , both services have PPV offerings with 1,000 of movies , hundreds of linear channels showing a wide range of content across the year , Sky has a vast range of first run rights with 100's of boxsets.

As for nothing being left for broadcast channels I'd say the complete opposite , most of the first run rights are with the terrestrial and pay tv broadcasters that's why Netflix felt the need to make the move into original content.
