I am telling you what I see, and I explain my comments. The response I seem to be getting is - that’s not what some people want. I get that, but they won’t prevent it from happening regardless.
I completely understand your point of view.I see why you draw these conclusions. However, I am not persuaded.
EE is throwing everything in with Sky, and guess what, Sky is not renewing its satellite licences beyond 2030. Same for Talk Talk. We are all moving over to IPTV, even if we don’t subscribe to Pay TV. The consumer won’t have a choice, whatever their preference.
Will the channels survive the change? Well, possibly, but in the long term I have no doubt everything will be on demand.

Of course you explain your comments, you keep having to explain your comments because people don't agree with you. Is EE really "throwing everything in with Sky"? it looks as if they are exiting the TV business and simply retailing Sky. Comcast is, primarily, a cable company. Hardly surprising that Satellite isn't the best fit for them in the long term.
It doesn't matter if you are persuaded by my "conclusions", if a service provider keeps withdrawing parts of the service, the customer will eventually say, "that's it, no more". It seems to be the way things are going with Virgin.
Sure, it's a discussion forum but you insist on preaching that your vision of the streaming future is the only way forward. Despite people telling you they don't want that.

Expect more channels going to the wall or being closed in favour of streaming only over the coming months.

The Create & Craft streaming apps on smart tvs and all major streaming platforms don't seem to have helped them very much...
