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?

It's the future! More and more people are doing it.
We are fully prepared to jack pay TV in and go with a combination of Freeview, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and NOW TV as an alternative. We're lucky to have all 3 apps built into our Smart TV.
You can get all 3 services for less than £17 per month if you shop around. £5.99 for Netflix, £5.99 for Amazon and NOW TV for as little as £5.00 per month if you buy their 5 month pass from Argos for £25.00.
What I like is the idea of being able to effectively eliminate your monthly TV bill entirely, if you can afford a 1 off splurge. A one off £79.00 payment gives you Amazon Instant video for a full 12 months plus a years worth of NOW TV passes can be picked up for £60.00. That's £139.00 up front for 12 months of great TV, subscription free!
If your worried about missing football, worth considering switching your sim to BT. BT Sports included via their Sports app for only £10.00 per month. BT have confirmed: "If you've got the right equipment at home to connect your PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet to your TV, then you'll be able to stream the app onto your TV. Alternatively, find out more about using Google Chromecast to watch BT Sport on your TV." Amazing deal!
