Why should it people should be glad other platforms up their game as in the long run they'll start to feel the benefits.
Here's some examples
Sky+ gave the cable co's the incentive to launch the 3 tuner TV Drive
Cables OD service forced Sky to launch Anytime+
Sky+ app (remote record) resulted in VM TIVO adding this feature
VM TIVO undelete feature resulted in Sky adding this feature to new EPG
VM & BT Vision catchup has resulted in Sky announcing a catchup service (rumoured for September)
Sky Go has pushed VM to announce TV Anywhere
Netflix HD streaming has resulted in Lovefilm introducing HD streaming
Netflix arrival has meant competition for Lovefilm and the introduction of Sky's Now TV.
Basically my point is competition is good for us the consumers.
