In my mind's eye, @manorpark took a photo off his phone of some random VHS he has of some random TV show; all part of his war chest archive.

There was actually a reddit thread today about the very subject we were discussing yesterday:

From a City AM article, thought this bit was interesting as it coincidentally mentions £10 as a price point. Hopefully there is scope for sensible pricing when this inevitably comes around.

A 2020 academic paper on the idea posited that if the 200m or so people who currently subscribe to pay TV channels to watch the Premier League paid £10 a month for a dedicated streaming service, annual media rights income could balloon from £3.5bn to £24bn.

Don't see the Saudi's spunking billions on a new stadium when they aren't allowed to spend any money on players.

It’s like the music streaming services.

 

Price it too high and illegal streams will continue to be rife.

 

Price it at a strong price point (£12 for HD with ads/£17 for 4K premium with no ads) and people will  lap it up.

 

Music piracy has more or less disappeared because £10 a month is an acceptable price to pay for all music at your fingertips.

Doesn't surprise me at all tbh. Once the likes of Netflix go direct debit then people don't even feel it, it's just always there and it's not significantly expensive enough to cancel once they're invested. Most would look at it as a saving and bin Sky and TNT, they're the ones that should be looking over their shoulders really. If it happens then they're bang in trouble and the price-gouging will stop immediately. Good news all round

Sky can’t survive without football.  They profiteered for fucking ages before the advent of IPTV.

 

Fuck them.

 I work for them (atm ) but can't see anything except their TV business shrinking beyond all regognition. They'll pull out all the stops to not lose PL coverage but I think it's coming eventually. They're losing HBO content on the entertainment side at some point soon as well, I think.
