If you are looking for an all streaming solution, using a streaming stick and throwing in a NOW contract will work out cheaper. That way, you won't be committing to a Virgin contract in the hope that services will continue in the way you expect.
They probably keep the existing systems and routines indefinitely, just as they won't keep Tivo based systems indefinitely.

No, not if you use Virgin Stream and choose not to pay for the Sky channels. You only pay for the box, not the channels. So effectively you can use Virgin Stream and the apps as well as the Freeview channels without incurring extra monthly costs, and you will have a watchlist.
The only fly in the ointment is if other streamers follow the Netflix decision not to permit its titles to be displayed on the watchlist, which is very short sighted, in my view.

Not with a central watch list that includes the content of both the streamers and the existing TV channels, though.

The Chromecast 4K is being replaced by the Google TV Streamer in the near future.
