The one think to take into account is that Netflix look as though they may just change the game here, they have exclusive rights to broadcast the new Star Trek in 188 countries (not the US and Canada) which means for the first time we will get to see a show shortly after broadcast all around the world. There will be no dropping the show because it doesn't get huge ratings (Netfilx have always stated this is immaterial to them) or shoving it into the grave yard slot.

If the show performs poorly on CBS but has a huge international audience that CBS can monetise that will keep the show going. Broadcasters like Sky ho have been dominant for so long simply can't offer distribution on the scale that Netflix can. There is no will this be shown in HD, if it is available in HD and has 5.1 audio then that is what will be available to the viewer.
I still use a paper tv guide i but tv choice on ac weekly basis and i don't even watch live tv lol or even have so much as a ariel connected to my tv, i guess me buying tv guide weekly is just out of habit.
