I merely said you could do that, not that it was the only way. What I am advocating is that all streamers should be capable of offering the same service as is on the V6. It's not exactly revolutionary.

Sky have already gone for the full integration idea as well, which some on here are saying is not viable!

This can even happen where say season 1 is "broadcast" - you record/watch it - then find that later seasons are on subscription service - also tempting you to join.


Further if you do subscribe you can play from whatever source on on device and not really care where the content comes from. Content owner still gets their money and the broadcaster can attract customers in that the services are all available on their platform, some within a single interface at least for initial search. Even playing "directly" on V6 opens the app and plays the content so after playing you are in the content owners app being tempted with more content there.
Exactly, tweetiepooh. I'm not sure why some posters on here cannot see that.
