Must admit the service is pretty good. Some surprises I didn't expect to see as part of the subscription like every episode of the Borgias and HBO's Deadwood.
Starting to seriously consider Freeview along with Netflix and Amazon Instant rather than an expensive TV subscription.

I did this back in February, partly due to the Feb price increase, and partly due to my viewing sources having already become mainly via the internet (having to pay for BT Sport also niggled me).
Using Unblockus gives me access to all Netflix regions, Hulu (for US Network TV shows) and I also have a paid subscription to HBO Nordic. I did take advantage of the Amazon Prime £49 offer, though I've not watched much via Prime so far, but liking the free next day delivery.
Because I have a VM phone, it was cheaper to keep one Tivo with the basic Freeview channels than just have phone and BB, so that takes care of UK Freeview channels. I would have been happy to go without TV from VM and just use catchup via the web if there hadn't been the cost advantage of keeping a Tivo.
This setup works great for me.
