Given the frequently contradictory statements you make on these matters I'm sure you'll see the light in 3 or 4 years time, as with Premiership rights.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
You rightly say that the V6 includes the ability to stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. Yet their subscriptions are not included in the VM monthly fee. To me, therefore, they do not seem truly integrated. If as some predict the traditional channels disappear, how will VM make money just streaming the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime when the subscriptions are paid direct to the streaming companies?

Maybe you'll have a different outlook in 3 or 4 years.
The big streamers will be up and running by then.

Have you ever thought that Disney might have not talked to them or Sky currently.

On your first point, it would be good to know what this 'contradiction' is, as you keep going on about it.
On the second, has it occurred to you that Virgin could contact Disney? You have to be proactive to succeed in this competitive world.

It is true that the pricing is not yet integrated, but the content is. You can search for programmes on the V6, and you can bookmark them so they appear in your recordings list ('My Shows').
Sky have integrated Netflix into their pricing, and you get a price reduction if you take Netflix and Sky Box Sets. That is the way we are heading. In the end, Sky and Virgin will have bouquets of streaming services with a discount applied in the same way as they do now with bundles of channels.
As more streamers come on the scene, they will try to get their apps on as many platforms as possible and they will be willing to do wholesale deals in order to achieve it.

I'd say it's unlikely. There's not room in the market for everyone to be Netflix.

I don't know why you think that, but I'm not losing any sleep over something that hasn't been corroborated.
In the meantime, Britbox now seems to have Ofcom's approval. At least they have finally arrived in the present century.

The imminent BritBox UK SVOD service, led by broadcasters ITV and the BBC, has received a boost from broadcast regulator Ofcom which has ruled that there is not a significant risk that the BBC’s involvement may distort the market or create an unfair competitive advantage.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Channel 4 have a lot of interesting programmes - especially the Walter Presents shows - and I am hoping that it joins Britbox. At present with the impossible to skip ads they are a pain to try and watch. It's a bit of a slim hope, though, as most, if not all, of its shows are bought in from outside sources rather than produced by the channel itself and I imagine that the rights would be a nightmare to negotiate. The news that Channel 5 are only adding the shows they produce on their own seems to confirm this. I fear that without a broad cross-section of back-catalogue material from all the main channels that the Britbox offering may be too thin to be of interest to many people.

Can you actually give me one contradictory statement I have made? Best to rely on the facts, jfman, which you seem to like stretching to the extreme.
I admit when I make mistakes. You just change the subject.
