Sky and Virgin will not be moving wholly to streaming any time soon. Look how long it is taking to get TIVO and V6 customers to move to 360 boxes - years. Not only that, but if Virgin were seriously moving to streaming only sometime soon, they would not be moving TIVO and V6 customers onto the 360 platform but straight to streaming.

Similarly, I no longer have SkyQ, but up until I cancelled earlier this year I didn't have anyone try and move me to Sky Stream. Sky still have customers on their pre SkyQ boxes.

Whilst virtually all new customers are on Virgin Stream [and Sky Stream], there will come a time when the economics changes, but that is years to come, and I doubt either company knows when that will be.
