Never hurts to ask your members but what people say when polled and how they behave are very different things. If they like your content, they'll still pay for it even if it's streaming only. Split testing of 2 member's areas (1 streaming only, 1 with downloads) as well as testing a member's area vs a VOD format is definitely worth doing.

We've seen Elevated X CMS users try various methods to move away from downloads, all with positive results.

There are a couple of things you can try if you're worried about shocking your members: You can leave your current member's areas as-is and put up a mirror version that's streaming only. Direct all your new joins to the new area. You can also test the waters slowly and gently introduce streaming by putting up new, preferably higher quality videos in your new site updates and make them streaming only.

Keep us posted on the results!
