Linear TV will be with us for decades yet. Too many people have too much money invested in transmitter towers, satellites and all the rest. Plus, the sort of Internet speeds required to properely replace a 1080HD picture are still a distant dream for whole swathes of the country.

Don't forget, only about half the households in the UK have any sort of TV subscription. For a huge number of people, the TV is still something you turn on and tune in according to a relatively limited schedule.
