What have I been saying all these years?!!

To be honest we're all still trying to get your original prediction to sink in. You know, the one from years ago about Sky Atlantic about to be added to Virgin's line-up.

Still waiting... :D

Yes, very true, but I was not privy to the terms Sky was offering Virgin, which in the end were unsuccessful.

I say again, the ‘prediction’ is simply my view. We all have views, don’t we?

So far, mine is coming true. I still stand by it. The only channels left (bar government intervention) will be streaming channels. Everything else will be on streamers.

Just my humble opinion.

Aha! so that is the difference. This time you are privy to the terms of every streamer and every channel. Right, I get it now...:erm:

No, I’m not. That’s why it’s a prediction rather than a statement of fact.

Then stop framing it as a statement of fact

What you should have said is The only channels left (bar government intervention) will, in my opinion, be streaming channels. Everything else will, in my opinion, be on streamers.

Anyway, moving on from your flights of fantasy and back to the real world.. that moment everyone has been waiting for :rolleyes: - High Street TV Shop has now launched on channel 759.

OB will be sending out invitations to the Wokingham celebratory street party (allegedly). ;)

really thought 3D tv would take off that time as sky sports got involved into it. I went to a bar once and tried the glasses and couldn't see any difference whatsoever...but maybe its because i had to take my glasses off to wear the 3d glasses...

The fact you had to wear glasses at all killed 3D, plus it just didnt work very well.

3DTV was a solution without a problem. You never watch TV and think "if only I could tell whether A is in front of B"
