I'm not quite sure what they are saying as they already have streaming apps. They state that NASA+ will be added to the existing apps. As the apps already carry live TV streams and on demand video, it's difficult to know what they will be adding.

I still have an older V6 box - will Apple TV be available on that also ?

Thx.

To be honest we have Netflix on the Standard with Ads and to be honest it’s not bad at all , the ads at the moment are spread and don’t last long at all. I respect some don’t like Ads at all but for us at £4.99 it seems ok at the moment and represents value for money.

The future is streaming huh? Lionsgate+ is to close in the UK https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/lionsg...tting-down-uk/
In an unexpected turn that’s set to reshape the British streaming scene (again), Lionsgate+, the premium streaming service, is set to shut down its operations in the UK in early 2024.

Lionsgate+, which has been operating in the UK in some form since 2019, is a streaming platform known for hits like Outlander, The Great and Power Book III.

This decision was first hinted at in a memo to staff by Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch, which mentioned the closure of Starz’s operations in the UK and Australia.

However, while the memo did not explicitly outline the fate of the Lionsgate+ streaming service in the UK, Cord Busters can now confirm that the service will indeed be exiting the British market early next year.

This move is part of a larger corporate reorganisation, with Starz looking to streamline its operations and potentially sever ties with Lionsgate through a sale.

Another one bites the dust.

Would imagine all the good stuff will be offered to other streaming services anyway. We do not need so many, dunno why they don't just sell access to Amazon Netflix or Disney save them and the consumer money in the long run

According to this, Lionsgate + will continue its operations in the UK.
