Have you ever thought that Disney might have not talked to them or Sky currently.
On your first point, it would be good to know what this 'contradiction' is, as you keep going on about it.

On the second, has it occurred to you that Virgin could contact Disney? You have to be proactive to succeed in this competitive world.

It is true that the pricing is not yet integrated, but the content is. You can search for programmes on the V6, and you can bookmark them so they appear in your recordings list ('My Shows').

Sky have integrated Netflix into their pricing, and you get a price reduction if you take Netflix and Sky Box Sets. That is the way we are heading. In the end, Sky and Virgin will have bouquets of streaming services with a discount applied in the same way as they do now with bundles of channels.

As more streamers come on the scene, they will try to get their apps on as many platforms as possible and they will be willing to do wholesale deals in order to achieve it.
