its only 10 quid on virgin media isnt it?
i've got a firestick so i'd be intrigued by what else gets "built into" prime but i'd expect to be saving money not spending more than virgin!

I know it’s a well-worn argument (and thoroughly entrenched on both sides) but you don’t pay a subscription to the BBC. You pay for a licence to receive TV broadcasts. As it happens, almost all of the money raised from that goes to fund the BBC. It sounds like a cop-out of an argument, but the legal distinction is important.
Besides, even if it was a subscription, you still wouldn’t acquire any ownership or right to future viewing of the content, any more than you do when Sky makes a programme. If that show later turns up on a channel outside of your subscription package, you don’t get to see the repeat showing.
