It doesn't make sense to be paying for both TV channels and streaming services when the content of the TV channels is also on the streamers.

With most streamers having a silly amount of content individually, I'm amazed at the numbers who are subscribing to lots of them. Waste of money paying for something there isn't enough time in the day to use. Subscribe to one, get your fill, cancel and move onto the next one.
We're only subscribing to 1 and still 90% of our viewing time is via traditional channels live, timeshifting and their On-demand. Barely get our money's worth from that streamer. Only way to justify subscribing to more streamers, for us, would be to not have a life off the screen, or sleep.
The wider pot of content sources is via broadcast. It would be very easy, for us, to drop the streamer as it doesn't have wide enough a selection, and by quite a margin.
