You say that but where most people would have watched TV live they now prefer to watch via catch up or record shows to watch later using a DVR.

Linear viewing has already changed for good and streaming services are starting to become the norm.

Live sports streamed over iPlayer for example would still generate large number of viewers. ie red button sports like the Olympics.
