I agree Netflix and Amazon represent pretty good value for money.
On your first point, I think Fox is my favourite, but I agree that Sky 1 is probably the best (if you exclude the premium channels). However, that is my point. The content on the pay channels is poor when compared with the best of the terrestrials, and I think a lot of people who subscribe to pay tv for the first time are surprised at the small amount of additional choice that is of good quality that they can access.

My comment about Sky 'fleecing' its customers was a passing comment rather than one that was central to the argument, and I know that a lot of us have negative views about Sky in that respect. I accept that you may not agree that Sky is the worst culprit.

My point was not about viewing figures for Netflix and Amazon. I am simply pointing out that they are better value for money, and people are likely to come round to that view unless content on the pay tv is improved.
