Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Indeed, we have real choice now. However, you cannot have the best of all worlds in respect of dramas without access to the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 and their satellite channels, and of course, the Sky channels.

You are so right that the good programmes are spread thinly across the channels these days. So I am with Den in going through the TV magazines, and I record everything worthwhile that I pick up.

However, unlike Den, I also watch TV series from Netflix, Amazon and Now TV. All together, these different outlets give a superb choice. Even in summer!

But conventional TV alone would leave me depleted.

You then only need someone like Netflix to pick up just one batch of football matches and it will erode Sky down further until the current pay tv model becomes unsustainable.
Absolutely right, Horizon. Sky cannot expect to hang on to the Premiership rights forever. They will be challenged before much longer.

It's only a matter of time before you see the error of your ways, Den! You have to adapt or die in this life, I have found!
