Not sure about Australian drama. Not sure how good it really is? They tend to fill their networks with US & UK imports.
If VM really did want a HBO type Network, Why didn't they do a deal with Showtime, which Sky did a few months ago?
Of those channels on Roku, excluding Amazon, Netflix and Now TV, how often do you actually watch them?

Well, there are hundreds of services available on the Roku, and I am suggesting that VM take the quality streaming services.
It is true that rights to current shows get sold to UK channels already, but the same is true for BT's AMC channel. The library of the non first run shows are still worth having.
With a bit of imagination, VM could give us a nice little choice of both streaming and conventional channels that its competitors don't have. And I still believe that it is possible to bring Now TV and Sky Store to the VM box. That would provide a more level playing field with Sky.
