For the rest of us in the real world, by literally any measure going, the most watched content is available on Sky/Virgin/BT. As has been pointed out by others when you sign into Netflix there’s a huge range of repeat content that has been shown on other channels previously.
Well, clearly, they show such content because some people like that. But there's plenty of other stuff to choose from which is new and exclusive to Netflix. It's the good new stuff that we seem to be lacking on the standard channels these days.

I understand that and I am not criticising Virgin or Sky for tying people into contracts, that's perfectly understandable given the cost of the equipment. I was really pointing out the advantage to the consumer in subscribing to the streaming services only. That does provide some flexibility to subscribe to services for periods that are sensible for you, enabling people to see content on different services with only one subscription at any one time.

Really? Were you looking in the 'foreign' section?

How is it easier to scroll through the EPG to find programmes to record than set up your watch list?
