Good idea. While they are at it, they could also get Acorn and provide it free. VM must have a lot of money sloshing about now that they don’t have to fork out for Fox, the lost Disney channels, etc. Spending it on some of the cheaper streamers sounds good to me!

Acorn are owned by AMC Networks we all know who they're currently in bed with in the UK.

Quite the assumption that they have money “sloshing about”. In practice - they’re saving pennies per subscriber with all of this minority interest content and almost certainly will not be throwing money hand over fist at fledgeling streamers who are responsible for splintering the content in the first place!

True, but I don’t think Acorn is offered by BT, so that shouldn’t’t be affected by any exclusivity agreements. Hopefully!

Two people have been arrested as part of a police investigation into illegal streaming.
Officers carrying out a warrant in Oadby, Leicestershire, found equipment "relating to the dissemination of paid-for TV services through internet protocol television" on Monday.
A man, 33, and a 48-year-old woman were held on suspicion of infringing copyright by communicating work.
Both have been released under investigation.
Leicestershire Police said they also shut down the online platform where people were accessing subscription material, with a message warning users against illegal streaming displayed instead.
Kieron Sharp, from FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft), said the police raid sent a message "not only to those facilitating this illegal activity but also to those choosing to consume content in this way".
"Providing illegal streaming services is a serious crime and consumers paying for these services should be aware that they are giving their money directly to criminals," he said.

These guys may well be restreamers and have their own kit but now it is massive business and of the course prolific it is the more attractive it is to the authorities
Will be interested in seeing if it actually goes anywhere
Incidentally it is not against the law in the US the same as it is here

A bit of your bias coming out here, jfman.
