Very good point. I noticed that Sky had combined Netflix and Sky Box Sets to offer a lower price when combined. I am sure that these aggregators will work out ways of offering a good deal to their customers, even if the price reduction doesn't come from the actual subscriptions of the streaming services. Instead, they could offer, for example, cheaper broadband or telephone charges when taking one of these packages, or they may decide to do a carriage deal with ITV and Channel 4 so that they can offer ITV Hub+ and All4+ with no extra cost, and so on.
