They will embrace it, too, pip. After all, the number of traditional channels will start the big decline in a few years.

VM have been one of the leaders in this thinking but tend to make slow progress, and Sky have now caught up. So Virgin need to get tons more apps, including Amazon, double quick to avoid getting left behind.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sky, Virgin Media and BT all offered bundles including streaming services from Netflix, Amazon and other subscription streaming services in time, PB. It makes perfect sense.
