You're missing the point I'm making. If you are subscribing to VM with the Full House package, there is no real reason why the Now TV Entertainment Pass could not be made available to those who wanted a couple of extra channels. VM would not lose money because the viewer's subscription to the Full House package was maintained and Sky would benefit from the £6.99 per month paid by the VM subscriber.

You mustn't forget that the only reason some VM subscribers are lost to Sky is that Sky offer SA. So why would VM not agree to it?

(Whilst Now TV Movies is available on BT and TalkTalk, it's just a film library, not a live TV service.)
Live TV is on the cable service anyway. Why would we particularly want that service duplicated on the Now TV Entertainment Pass app that I have suggested?

If you meant live Sky Atlantic and ITV Encore, why would there be a need to see those channels live when those programmes are displayed as part of a programme library that you just click on to view at a time that suits you, with no ads?

Only for the additional content for which Amazon don't own the rights. All the films it is able to get the rights to and its own original content are free once you subscribe to the Prime service.
