But that's what I already said (as in the range). My point was you don't know for each individual programme/film you're watching. Personally, I don't think you should need to either, as I don't want to have to decide what to watch on the basis of how much data it's going to use.
Yes, phones have good data management tools now. But they're mostly to help you keep within a limit. While you can see how much data was used per application, I suspect few people (the people who don't have a clue about mobile data) actively monitor that.

That would be good, even if it just meant being able to schedule downloads so you could pick programmes out but not download them there and then, slowing your Internet down. I already try and select things to download at night for that reason.
You'd also potentially avoid the wratch of Three's TrafficSense if you said to download between midnight and, say, 6am.
I realise I mentioned Sky Go before, but forgot that in the case of this app, you're not allowed to download via mobile data at all. Streaming is fine, but for downloads you need Wi-Fi.
