21.94% saying they’ll move from Virgin, whilst Apple could be making a lot of money
This is the results so far of a poll on a story about Virgin threatening to sue Sky because they are being ridiculous over the payment discussion involving Sky One, Sky Two, Sky Sports News, Sky News and Sky travel.
Now is it just me, or would that number be considerably lower if us UK LOST, 24 and Battlestar Galactica fans could just buy the shows on iTunes in the first place? And yet today iTunes receives yet another update that only particularly benefits American users.
That said - why in the UK are we being sold Apple TV? Unless we are running a music shop that shows music videos all day long, or we have managed to find 100 video podcasts to watch of quality amongst the 5-10 or so that exist on the internet… there’s really no point in the device over here.
Sorry for the rant, but this rubbish with Sky and Virgin would never have happened if the shows weren’t so centralised onto one network in the first place. In America they have the ability to view online, iTunes, TV and TV recording to watch it from. Over here? Just Sky One, oh - and the ability to watch online, if your a Sky customer.
Note: I’ll be returning the blog back to it’s interesting state once my incredibly busy rush that has come on lately has calmed down - possibly when the new JHuskisson.com launches.
