It's a quick win for Virgin's PR team to say you can watch all the football on a V6 box at Christmas*.
*seperate subscription to Amazon Prime required.
And lose access to up to 11 million set top boxes. I can see why you aren't good at this economics thing.

If I remember correctly, you were arguing that Amazon on the V6 was of no economic benefit to Virgin. A quick win for Virgin? On thet we are agreed.
Virgin can still make a case for having their boxes even without the linear channels.
