If they all operated more like Netflix and Amazon Prime, and were accessible on the one TV box, that would pretty well clinch it for me. However, in the meantime, I have to take account of my wife's views and she cannot navigate between different streaming services unless they are on the V6 and I can bookmark her favourite programmes. That's just the way it is. Sky and the way their Now TV streamer works is the main stumbling block for us.

Ah anything to have a pot shot at Sky. As you'll know, HBO would be selling box sets of GoT, therefore it'd be counter-intuitive to release it for an unlimited period to any streaming service not just Sky.
I'm sure those who enjoyed Friends on Netflix, until it disappeared with almost no notice, would object to your portrayal of an Amazon/Netflix utopia where content doesn't simply disappear.

As I alluded to earlier, can you really see 200+ linear tv channels in 5 or 10 years, still duplicating schedules with endless repeats of NCIS?

Hopefully.
