Indeed. I'd like to see figures for for cancellations after the autumn rugby, for one. I know they're going to be unlikely to stumble over. I certainly found the Prime cancellation process hard to come across - Doctor Google was far more help than Amazon's own sight. Again - hardly a surprise.
The effect of the latest round of price rise announcements will be interesting, too..

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Sky had been lagging behind VM in the 'all in one place' offering for some time, but it's really going for it now as promoted here:

Apps on Sky Q
All in one place, easy
Everything’s so much easier when it’s side by side. Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Spotify, BBC iPlayer, Prime Video. All in one place. And tell your remote what you’re looking for to get to them faster.

VM need to make sure they don't fall behind. It's the big ones like Disney+ and Spotify that are the most obvious omissions.

VM used to have Spotify. I was under the impression it disappeared as the original Tivo couldn't cope with advances in the app, not meeting the requirements, and the V6 wasn't around then to my recollection.
I can't get it on my Roku for the same reason, though it's available on newer models.

My understanding is that Spotify stopped on all version of TiVo

Was it someone like Curzon? Universal rings a bell too.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
As long as Sky embraces streaming services, this company is going nowhere. The future for Sky TV channels is, well, let’s say, debatable, but the Sky service should have a decent future, probably through IPTV rather than satellites ultimately.
I think Comcast should keep them focussed on the right preparations for the future, before events start to dictate. Their belated decision to offer Prime and being the first to offer Disney + and Discovery+ are very good signs.
It’s VM that is being left behind at the moment.
