UK TV - Market research.
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2016 12:03 pm
We are currently in negotiations with suppliers for different IPTV services.
My personal opinion is that it is all very well having 100's of channels - but these cost to host. Less channels, the more subscription costs can be reduced. If we review how many channels people really watch, i'd guess no more than 50 (opinions are welcome). Based on this i've cobbled together a list for a currently fictional IPTV service, which the target cost would be 20 per month inclusive. Presently unsure if this is viable, though just looking for opinions whilst we research the matter further.
Below are proposed channels. System would include catch up TV on most channels & 7 day program guide. Do you think below is worth €20 per month?
