There is so many TV providers, with so many TV options. The only real problem is not 1 really hits the nail firmly on the head for me in terms of value and over the top services.

The ideal set up for me would be a hybrid between Youview and over the top on demand. So you'd have all freeview channels plus catch up for iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4, Demand 5, UKTV on demand plus Quest on demand free as standard. From there the ideal service would include Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and NOW TV with the option of adding additional streaming apps for the likes of BT Sport, Boxnation and WWE Network. All these apps exist but they're spread our over a series of streaming devices.

That would be a winner for me. Neat and tidy all available via one PVR. If one of the newer TV providers could somehow pull this off, I think they'd be onto a real winner. Especially if they offered all services in 1 monthly payment. For 17mb broadband, line rental, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and NOW TV I'd be happy to pay between £35 and £40 per month.
