Just look at the week’s schedules for Sky One, Sky Witness and Sky Atlantic and do a quick assessment on whether you think they are value for money compared with Netflix. True, there are one or two good programmes on there, but they are surrounded by piles of absolute dross. I only subscribe to Sky for those one or two good programmes, but they represent pretty poor value for money IMHO.
In your opinion people will ditch traditional services. The fact is many pay far more to Sky/Virgin and perceive value there. You yourself say that the one or two good programmes on Sky are worth paying for. Add in movies and sports and it's in a different league to a nice, cheap add on.
