Look at like this in order to get movies in 4K we should need to pay everytime you want to watch, but if you was a sky customer you can watch SD HD and 4K anytime you want, how can virgin hold on there I do wonder, while still charging same or a bit more than sky movies and sports without 4K.

Let's not forget exclusive F1 in 4K and more than likely the football exclusive in 4K, is there any solution there
Why would you want to record a film when it is there on demand, to be watched at any time? True, you have to actually sit and watch it, otherwise the period of time it is on there will eventually expire. However, if you ditched Sky Movies and put the money towards PPV films, I think you'd find that it would work out.

Frankly, I find it difficult to understand how someone could splash out on a 55" TV and then grumble about the cost of an Amazon subscription or PPV films.

The Premiership matches available to VM viewers are likely to arrive via BT Sport. Hopefully, the next Premiership deal with come with conditions about making all formats available to all platforms.

I think that the BBC will be fairly quick off the mark, but good point about the other terrestrials.

When the non pay tv channels start to embrace it, I do believe they will start with selected 4k programmes on demand rather than bandwidth hungry channels.
