It's called good business practise and is the way forward.

Edit: VM have quite a few things in the pipeline.
I do hope so, Legendkiller. They are behind the curve at the moment, having started with great promise when they gave us Netflix.

If you want streaming services its much better to elect for Freesat or Freeview topped up with the services of your choice.
As I have explained, though, with all the streamers on the Sky system, you can access them all with just one watchlist.

Your original point was that the new AVOD streamers would devalue Sky, when all they are doing is adding free services without taking anything away. Surely, that’s added value?

I can’t agree with that view at all for the reason I have given. Sky won’t lose any subscribers by what it has done - quite the contrary, I would have thought.
