At least they’re preparing the those with an irrational aversion to linear television - or television as it was known up until 2005 - for the high cost streaming future.
For me, it’s:

Channels:

Essential Entertainment: £12.00
Sky Cinema Pack: £14.99
_______
£26.99

Streamers: What I pay now, less 10%.

Suits my wife and me fine price-wise. I would keep the linears for her to watch via on demand watchlists, mainly because she’s not happy getting into the streamers (although it is probably easier under this system, if only more apps were available).

I think VM is on the right lines here, but needs improvement. More apps and multi-view should be considered for the future.

As for your ‘irrational aversion’ comment, ‘irrational’ it certainly isn’t, but we won’t go around that loop again.
