I'd be surprised if they can add anything of real significance, especially for those with a pay TV service.
Agreed, although American companies could choose to provide the UK with similar packages as are available over there if they chose to do so. However, they would have to wait for existing contracts to expire first.

Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I can't see that happening, sadly.
