Virgin package

I have Virgin internet, TV and phone that are all out of contract and am paying about £77 a month. 
I only watch the basic tv channels, BBC etc.
We have a new broadband provider in my area. My question is. What would happen to my TV viewing if I switch? I also have Netflix and Amazon Prime.

    If you're only watching channels that are available on Freeview its pointless paying Sky/Virgin for them.

    You can buy TV from Virgin on its own, but as above if your viewing is Freeview channels there may be little benefit.
    Your Netflix/Prime you can use either on somewhere like a Smart TV or a Fire Stick/Roku/other similar device if you're using them on your Tivo but if you have it included and you move away it will probably end.

    Tell Virgin you are leaving then when they contact you get BB TV and landline phone for under £30 or go to new provider.
