I may have missed it, but I've seen nothing to say that we can't discuss this difference, even though it seems to suit you to want to lump them all together.
And it seems as if you still don't get the full aspect of Now TV; it also contains many box sets. And it is not tied to a 12 month contract.

Thank you PB, I do get the full aspect of Now Tv. Just because I did not envisage anyone using Now TV as an on demand service only, does not make me ignorant of all things Now TV. I am not sure why you are highlighting box sets,
again. I alluded to them in my last reply to OB, and acknowledged them when you mentioned them a couple of posts ago. Just to be clear (for the third time), I am aware Now TV have on demand services available. I am also very aware you can cancel at anytime, but for me, the service I receive is better value for money. Perhaps you do not fully understand all the aspects of Sky. They have hundreds of box sets available for long periods, offer catch up tv, have many channels, and the ability to record whole series in full HD and keep them for as long as I want, without having to worry about buffering at anytime.
You are more than welcome to discuss the differences between linear pay TV and linear fta TV, but the discussion I, and many others have had, with OB were about linear tv as a whole, hence me posting as I have done. Whether or not I am person to discuss the differences between linear pay TV and linear fta tv with, is for you to decide. As I stated in my previous post, I agree with you that pay TV will lose subscriptions, but linear TV (both pay and fta) will still be here for many a long year. So on my part, there is very little discuss.
