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.

Couldn't agree more. I've recently cancelled Netflix (for the second time - last time was for three months two years ago) for exactly these reasons. Plus I've got plenty of blu rays & dvds I've never watched, not to mention purchased digital content.
I won't say I'll never subscribe to Netflix (or another streamer) again, but in future I'll just sub for a month at a time to watch a particular show, if I sub at all.
