Does anyone think it would be more beneficial to drop the Virgin TV package and take on more streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime etc? It does seem to me that in doing so it would be quite a bit cheaper than the £33 for the XL package, iirc Netflix is approx £6 per month and I'm not so sure about Amazon Prime but I wouldn't think it would be that much more than Netflix.
So if you had both of these services at the same time, I'm thinking that it would more than keep you satisfied with the channels that they offer at a fraction of the cost.
Thoughts?

I decided to cancel VM TV and Phone after 25+years and just keep the BB. I found 90% of what i watched and 100% of what the wife watched was on Freeview.
I also have Netflix and Prime, which i had anyway so i was paying at least £74 for VM services (not including phone calls), plus the streaming services.
When i cancelled VM they offered me 50Mb BB for £19.50 for 18 months, very happy with that price.
The only thing that i'd miss was The Walking Dead but as chromecast had a free 3 month offer for NowTV i grabbed that. Game sell 3 month passes for NowTV entertainment for £15, so i'll get those.
I am pleasantly surprised at the amount of channels on Freeview and although there was a hefty set-up cost (£300) as i didn't have an aerial and wanted a recordable box i'll be saving over £54 a month.
I find more to watch on Prime and Netflix than i ever did on my cable package.
