Virgin's offering is anemic com...Not surpised.<br /><br />Virgin's offering is anemic compared to Sky's and only the delivery of the media differs. Tivo is god, but not a deal breaker for most.<br />Price and availability of content is.<br />With the intense hype surronding shows like Game of Thrones that are tied up on the only channel Virgin, Talk Talk, BT Vision and others are unable to carry, Sky are effectively dictating the terms in the negotiation.<br />How much TV content actually comes from without Sky?<br /><br />I'd love to be able to watch some more content on Netflix or loveFilm, but apart from a meagre selection of reasonably recent films and TV shows, there's bugger all else on either. Step in Sky with a repackaged deal called Now TV and they get to charge 3x the price because they know they are the only ones carrying the more recent films - so the others have no choice other than to act as resellers of Sky's channels.<br /><br /> Sky have so much power that it's virtually impossible to avoid buying their products unless you avoid pay tv altogether.sibodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288864600886867580noreply@blogger.com
