It would be interesting to know if Sky are making a profit setting the Now TV film service at £8.99 p/m. If they are, it's not a massive leap for Netflix. But if Sky rely on the £16 p/m from satellite as well, it's a bigger gap or Netflix to jump.

Given that many viewers are not too bothered about HD and PQ in general, it's surprising that there haven't been more complaints about satellite viewers having to pay almost twice as much for movies as those getting them via Now TV.
