I agree. Try searching through a tv mag to find a programme that you know is coming, but don't know what day or what channel. That's an effort.
Just typing the name of the programme in search is no effort at all.
If you've been into Netflix, you will have seen how easy it is to pick a programme that might be of interest to you. I really don't see what the problem is.

It is very tempting to do so again though..

Hi, Harry. Your contribution is always welcome!
However, I don't know what you mean by my 'constantly changing my arguments'! I think I have been pretty consistent in what I personally think will happen. However, I need to put different scenarios across sometimes to answer specific questions that come up in the posts.
I am not claiming to have all the answers. I am simply speculating intelligently about changes that we might see over the coming years.

The money will come from the same pockets as it does now. We will just be paying for different services.
