Well, given this is about pricing, exactly how much is the customer expected to pay to access all this on their TVs? I have no intention whatsoever of getting Blinkbox, Playstation, Sky and the like which will all cost me more!

You only have to compare what we are paying to Sky for their movies with the other options available on alternative equipment to see how much they are overcharging for Sky Movies.

You can talk about the exclusivity arrangements with the film studios that have to be paid for if you like, but the number of hours of content you get on Sky Movies is very small when compared with what you get on Netflix.

When you weigh it all up, Sky are simply raking it in at our expense. It will change with time, but it's the competition that will bring it about.
