Glad there is some support on here for BBC cos I am fed up with all the negativity from the media. Continuing on from my 3 above...
(4) Amazing range of BBC radio stations including regional ones, all without adverts.
(5) Politically impartial and although some commentators do wear their colours on their sleeve, it's not overt like, for example, LBC.
(6) Pioneers for technology in the UK including colour (1967), Nicam Stereo, Widescreen broadcasting.

The rows are largely superficial. Why would you have Land of Hope and Glory at the Proms this year when there is no flag waving audience to sing it?

We are all go to the BBC for major news stories. If there was a death, say, in the Royal Family would everyone go to Netflix to get the details?

And because we all like tradition, the Queen's Christmas broadcast is broadcast simultaneously on BBC, ITV and Sky yet it's watched on the BBC by a margin of around 10:1.

Oh, and to get back on topic, Virgin are more or less fine. Perhaps by the time I write this they will have acknowledged that Sky 2 is now Sky Replay but there we go.
