I am surrendering nothing, basically. If Virgin did stop offering any of the streamers I use, which is unlikely, I have them all on my Smart TV and on my Roku and Amazon Fire sticks, so I am well covered.

I was mistaken about MUBI, sorry.
Hmmm. It sounds as if you are willing to wait for Virgin to add the apps even though you have access elsewhere, which sounds to me like surrendering control. Have fun waiting for Virgin to add Max, the process may take about as long as it is taking to add Discovery+.

Virgin are only ever going to offer a handful of apps compared to the hundreds or even thousands available on dedicated devices. Ok, with that many apps there will be a lot of dross that you won't want but there will also be several pearls to be found in there. Of course, you could just dismiss anything not on Virgin as being full of ads, even if they have never seen an ad.

Even with its handful of apps, Virgin still manages to include a lot of dross.
