How can it possibly be the case that linear viewing will cease when this is how we watch the news and football, for example? Of course I didn't mean what you are implying. I think, Harry, you are just being argumentative, naughty boy!
Maybe some day you will tell me which of my arguments have changed so much over the course of this thread as I think this must be a figment of your imagination. If you list them, I can put the record straight for you.
In my last post, I was referring to the new price of Netflix that has been announced, not my forecast price, but then you know that. No doubt you have worked out that £11 per month is also cheaper than the licence fee, so I am not sure what point you were trying to make.
Also in your response to Hugh, there is agreement between us that conventional viewing is still going strong. However, this is now. The scenario we are looking at is what will happen in the future.
As to what the price of Netflix will be in 20 years, how the hell would I know? Do you have the projected inflation figures for 20 years into the future?
Didn't think so...

Yup, you did say linear channels (clue: look closely and digest the first word) which broadcast linear TV. the loss one of one, leads to the loss of the other. If myself and others have misinterpreted your thoughts, why on earth have you kept this thread running for so long, why not just explain your thoughts better to us? Boredom? Trolling? Or just wanting to have a chat?
The first argument that changed was the 10 years statement. I am not going to trawl through all the other posts to find others. although you did present three different arguments on how you thought streaming services would be paid for, each time you changed your mind when I gave reasons why they would not be fair for everyone. You also said the BBC should be pay per view, and you changed your mind again, when I challenged you on how expensive it would be to just one show. You no longer seem to think everyone in the country will be able to watch anything they want it in 10 years. You also said all content companies would launch streaming services, and would replace linear channels.
The point I am making about Netflix, is that you have this vision of what the world will look in 20 years (although you have often said you don't know how things will look in 20 years, when questioned a bit deeper on your thoughts) but will not put together basic figures/ideas for scrutiny.
Now seeings as you ignored a large chunk of my previous post, would care to respond to the rest of it - in which I foolishly try to continue this discussion with you on the future linear to channels, rather than respond with a pretty pointless post.
