For streaming services, especially where the broadcaster relies heavily on advertising revenue, the calculation becomes far more complex.

For Virgin, or Sky, there's no new content.
And yet Sky apply a discount for their Netflix/Box sets package. How do you explain that then?

It's strange that it has taken so long, but nice to see HDR coming to Sky.
