Re: It all about the Math.
Whatever suits your budget I suppose , personally cant see it being too long before Netflix close that loophole.

Also to effectively block it users would need Geo locked HARDWARE, with different chips/hardware or region key. Netflix is years old and people have been watching the US version for a long time. ---------- Post added at 10:41 ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 ---------- Quote:

Re: It all about the Math.
You need to factor in the cost of the internet connection for Netflix ;)
(pet peeve: unless you're American, it's "maths" not "math") |

So take away Netflix I will still pay for my internet, take away the channels you won't carry on paying for your TV subs. So internet does not need to be factored in unless you get the internet purely to watch Netflix |

You also haven't done like for like, as in where is your sports package and where is the multiroom? I do understand what your trying to say but the last package is not the same as the Virgin/sky packages. |

Obviously its not a solution for everyone but in these increasingly tough times its becoming an option for more and more people. It streams HD with 5.1 sound and the US version has movie we cant even buy in Bluray yet. All for £6 a month. ---------- Post added at 12:33 ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 ---------- Quote:

Re: It all about the Math.
So you don't count multiroom in the Sky calculation because of a "work around", but count it in the VM package - why couldn't the same "work around" be used there, reducing the cost in line with Sky?

I think people simply stealing the content from download sites is a bigger issue. Netflix pay studios for rights for certain countries, Sky pay the same studios for rights to other countries. If anything it will be Sky losing out, not the film studios. EG Sky have the Ondemand rights for Ironman2 for the next year. I can watch it on Netflix in HD 5.1 sound right now instantly. Now that works for me..An if you want to tell me I'm breaking a ToS TOUGH. Go tell everyone that downloaded IronMan2 they have stolen it and have broken the law. ---------- Post added at 13:06 ---------- Previous post was at 13:04 ---------- Quote:

When I go to the VM site, I get a different figure from you - can I ask how you arrived at £76.50? I get £69.50 (which includes ESPN, unlike the Sky offering), for |
Re: It all about the Math.
Monthly cost
Your bundle £30.50 Your extras £46.00 Total £76.50 One-off cost £49.95 Your services TV XL TV extras TiVo Service ESPN Additional V HD Box - HD activated Sky Sports & Movies Collection Sky Premium HD Yes you get ESPN with Virginmedia but you get extras on Sky also but this is not the Sky v Virgin thread you seem to be trying very hard to turn it into. I understand you are some kind of one man Virginmedia defense force but I really don't care. I was just pointing out for £6 a month Netflix is great value when compared to large companies like Sky, or even the small players like Virgin. |
Re: It all about the Math.
Factor in the upcoming price rise for XLtv your looking at £78+ for VM a month
|
Re: It all about the Math.
How come you get a different price to the one I get from the VM website?
I get £39.50 for the "your extras". as shown on screen print. |

Also if you include ESPN on Sky it would come to £80 because ESPN is discounted if you have Skysports so you would pay £1 more with Sky but get lots more channels eg Atlantic ESPN America HD ITV2HD ITV3.........................................Ha! I'm not going downt hat route, this is simply a thread to highlight Netflix as an option/Alternative. |
