As far as my own requirements are concerned, I am certainly just about able to get the programming I need online only, although the advertising on UKTV Play is an annoying obstacle. My problem is that I need to be able to keep things easy for my wife, who really cannot get her head round accessing all the different streamers. This, of course, is why I need everything on one box. One watchlist - simples.

If the new arrangements Virgin is introducing for broadband only customers carry all the main streamers including Discovery+, this might provide the solution I am looking for. The resistance of Netflix to integration is problematical though, so I hope they relent on that soon.
Great as it would be to have all the streamers on one searchable and bookmarkable/watchlist platform, this goes against the commercial benefits for the streamers of keeping viewers within their own apps.
