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.

I usually stay out of this debate. Mainly because I think linear TV is here for a very long time, but I also know streaming services are becoming more and more popular, especially for content normally exclusive to pay linear TV. And despite what you think, pay and FTA linear channels are being affected differently and to deny that in any discussion on this topic is artificially limiting it's scope.
I think it's far too soon to call on this whole linear/streaming debate, so I follow out of interest.
This time I just posted because you made an incorrect statement:

Now TV is one of the services that in part could and is used as an alternative to linear TV. I use it that way. Are you saying I am wrong in the way I use it? Or I really don't understand how I'm
really using it?
But I'd forgotten how much you like to pontificate rather than accept the case pointed out to you.
