That's why switching a service now and then will give you better access to a whole variety of programmes through different providers.

Sounds a bit too much like hard work for me I'm afraid and I can guarantee Mrs G wouldn't be having any of it either - she likes to watch TV not content listings.

You'll also need to keep track of what is premiering when, and where, to ensure you can alter your subscriptions month on month so you don't miss anything you want to see!

Except you aren't switching for the same content , so to get just a fraction of what Sky Cinema has you'll pay more.

It's not difficult for most to understand. Who can be arsed to keep switching when a new movie is released talk about a step backwards.

Quite easy to keep track of new shows/movie, premiers etc with sites such as tvtime and trakt.tv but we are a very long way from linear tv being redundant, it will eventually but not in our lifetime one feels.

So you think it will just be Disney doing this and the platform is untested? Disney owns Hulu and ESPN+ both tried and trusted platforms in the states so far from untested. They also own Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox. So their offering will be a huge library of existing content plus new content being added continuously of films, series etc.

It is merely the start of new content delivery that you've all been slagging OB of for. I've agreed with OB before and still agree with him.

Time to get your heads out of the sand.

I'm guessing the average television user wants it, or an attached device, to tell them what's on.

I still buy a tv listings magazine haha but imo you can't beat the good old epg.

Yup, it aint rocket science to just have a wee flick through the EPG to see what you want to watch, but wait, there are others on here who think that's way beyond them! :rolleyes:

Spot on, i'll bet most of them thought we'd never have the broadband speeds we have now, and as for Den, I'm sure he's convinced that black and white TV is miles better....;):D
