Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
My sarcasm clearly didn’t come through at 1am Old Boy.
Can only assume you were bored on a Saturday night to dig up a post weeks old. :beer: And yes, please don’t claim you’ve not shifted goalposts I’ve better things to do with my Sunday afternoon than post clear, unequivocal evidence from your own posting history that you have. |

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
As mentioned in the ‘Changes’ thread by ScottishSteve...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20...adcast-channel The BBC are betraying the streaming orthodoxy and bringing BBC3 back as a linear channel. HEATHENS! |

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
Considering BBC3 is aimed at a younger audience, younger audiences do not think "ooh, must be sat infront of the TV at 8pm"... That change has already happened. They do not even "record", they just catch it on iPlayer.
Why bring it back as a linear channel? Some of the younger generation do not even know that TV comes through an aerial, they think it comes from wifi. I would suggest it is more to justify the TV licence to the younger generation... "Oh look, we bought this back... aren't we great" |

We see it with our eyes, we hear it with our ears, but some still do not get it. I don’t know if they ever will until these channels close down, as inevitably they will. The content will be there, the channel owners will be there, but all their stuff will be VOD. No-one in the future is going to want their lives dictated by scheduled television. |

The Culture Minister is set on converting the licence fee to a subscription model, which will confound all those who deny vehemently that VOD is the future. https://www.tvbeurope.com/business/w...peed-broadband Despite having previously said scrapping the BBC’s licence fee is “politically impossible”, culture minister John Whittingdale has again mooted the idea that it could be axed when the current Royal Charter ends in 2027. Speaking in parliament, Whittingdale said the rise of the streamers and the fall in young viewers watching live BBC channels meant the licence fee was becoming harder to justify. Whittingdale added that the licence fee could not be scrapped “whilst a significant proportion of the population relies on Freeview” to watch the BBC. “The technology needs to be capable of delivering video on demand to everyone,” he added. “The technology does not allow it now. We will in a few years reach universal coverage and then it will be possible to introduce subscription services as an element of the funding.” Supporting the petition, Conservative MP Jonathan Gullis said: “I agreed the licence fee should be scrapped at the next Charter Review. The Government should also decriminalise non-payment.” |

Funny how the Culture Minister is set on becomes "mooting an idea" within a mere few lines.

It simply won’t work that way in the future. The advertisers would rather you didn’t fast forward through the adverts, of course! ---------- Post added at 16:45 ---------- Previous post was at 16:43 ---------- Quote:

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
No it's your interpretation of what you think the Government will do in six years time. There's no manifesto commitment, no proposed legislation. Nothing but your hopes and dreams.
The 2025 broadband commitment is getting watered down so much the networks, particularly in rural areas, will not be up to it. Then you're goosed until 2037. Better get shifting those goalposts again OB. |
