OTA broadcasting is getting more expensive for providers you only have to look at the cost of freeview slots to see this however linear tv isn't going anywhere anytime soon isps are investing in tv now and even though bt,talktalk and plusnet tv is online they are still linear channels.

You may choose to trust them, but personally I find "we are not planning to" to be less than a watertight, door-slammed-shut commitment. To be fair, I wouldn't expect them, or any commercial operation, to say 'never' about anything. It would be too restrictive.
