In the old days this is how forums were normally laid out, but the problem with this in the modern age is that people are using more than one service and/or provider.

The 'Coming Soon' thread often goes of topic because VM cable users get drawn into discussions about the other services that they now use in parallel eg Freesat for the missing FTA channels on VM, Now TV to access Sky Atlantic etc.

To add to the mix, the poll that I created shows that most people don't just stick to one streaming service provider either!

What happens with streaming services when a programme or film is about to expire?

If you start watching a film, say, at 11.30pm that expires at midnight, does it cut you off or let you watch it until the end?

If the system crashed I imagine that you'd miss the ending, which would be very annoying.
