There's very little interesting about the fact I subscribe to the cheapest service available for my needs. I challenge you to find me like for like products - if they're out there I'll happily subscribe.

I have acknowledged in previous posts that sport is expensive and my assertion that streamers are better value clearly does not cover that. However, I remain convinced that prices for sport will come down over time, once the Sky/BT stranglehold on the footie is breached.
I have no problem whatsoever in understanding the value people get from Sky and VM. What I am saying is that the streamers are better value. Sport excepted, of course, we don't disagree on that.

While we have both the streamers and the TV channels, I agree, but once we can get everything we want from the streamers, many of us won't be bothering at all with the TV channels. They are just too expensive and inflexible.

You've exempted sport, which is frankly ridiculous as it carries by far the highest value of any rights out there. Pay tv companies don't apply these arbitrarily - they do so because they provide the greatest opportunity to extract value (and profits for shareholders).
