I don’t understand that comment. What are we surrendering to them?

The process I use to add anything to the Virgin watchlist is to select the programmes from the TV listings publication I subscribe to and then add those programmes from the channels and the streamers. The watchlist then provides me with a handy reminder of the content that I wish to view. So what am I surrendering?

You make an interesting point about Netflix, and I don’t know why they have introduced this policy. By not permitting a search to be done of the content I want to select, I can’t add it to my watchlist. This means I tend to watch more from the other streamers simply because Netflix content is not immediately visible. I don’t want to use a separate watchlist from each streamer that I use.

Seems to me they’ve shot themselves in the foot.

My Dad is 93 and finds it much easier to work!
I agree. The menu is nice and uncluttered, so you can find everything very easily. I don’t miss the old TiVo, but I can see why some people like it.
