Yes, but remember that streamers and players are becoming more popular now as the media scene transforms. It is only a matter of time before Sky and Virgin come to realise that streamers are becoming more popular than TV channels.
Well given they both sell broadband, manage traffic on said broadband services, resell streaming providers, run comprehensive tv and tv to go platforms (which will likely track viewing and search metadata) and in the case of Sky, own a suite of OTT services across Europe, I would suspect they have a pretty good idea already of how pay tv is doing these days!
