If they could provide Hayu and BT Sport at no extra charge, they could do the same here. Sooner or later, they will have to start thinking about packages of streaming services/players in the same way as we have bouquets of channels.
Sky gets it. They provide Sky Box Sets and Netflix at a lesser charge than they would cost separately, for example.

Of course it would be popular. I love people who give me free stuff.
The question is a simple economic one. Does Virgin Media's financial outlay in your scenario result in more subscribers at the top tier, such that in the end they make more money, not less.
I think it is very unlikely, and clearly so do they. If it was such an obvious winner, they would already be doing it.
