[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 11255, member: 175144"] Sharing the money around in this way would not been seen as profitable. Why do it when the broadcaster can charge on a per country basis regardless of viewing potential As I see it the providers of the material deemed suitable for PPV or even regular subscription from satellite and cable have got their hands in the money pot at both ends For Sky its excessive as they are both the broadcaster and the Film company, - they also have the satellite and channels , advertising within the channels that are for the subscriber, a dedicated subscriber management system, unique decoder boxes, even more unique encryption system, and basically no competitiors on the horizon. I would also like to see a PPV system where the payment is not on a channel by channel basis, but on a viewing time basis, as it would neatly sidestep the reason for paying for simply repeats. If a film channel is say £10 per month, the cost per film (if 2 hours long) would work out at around 0.3p, Of course I would jump at it, but Sky and others would never break even.
