I haven't ever said that Virgin or Sky were in danger of dying, but I have claimed they will need to adapt.
The streamers need to chase the lazy viewers. That's why Netflix have adapted their streamer to play random stuff continuously. Switch on, chill out.

Sooner or later, there will be a better proposition that will benefit customers that will neatly contain everything integrated in one box, including terrestrial and Sky. That will see VM dead in the water.
The opportunity is there I think for Sky to seize. If it does so, they will get my custom, that is for sure. They are almost there, actually.
A great pity, and a wasted opportunity.
