I cant see an obvious issue with VM adding Amazon. I's effectively the same as Netflix, with different content. Netflix can't have affected VM's TV subscriptions, otherwise it would no longer be there. Amazon, like Netflix, only have a few first run weekly shows; it's mainly back seasons, or shows that have never had a UK pickup. Pay TV is about current shows. OTOH Now TV is competition in that it shows lots of current shows
It's a tricky one tbf with Amazon moving towards a live tv service too.

Included with top package mate but the app will be available for lower packs for the normal prime/video fee.
But if Amazon are moving into live tv too it could become a lot more complex.
