You know, weird as it is the amount of devices that you can put it on, makes the mystique of the whole thing, wane more and more. When you had 4 or 5 networks and it goes to 900 it is like a big candy store but within like a month 95% of them are utterly useless to you.
Same with where you watch it...the fact that you could only watch it on TV was tough case you missed it. Now being able to record, and playback you just hate advertisements more and more.
With the phone / tablet capacity to watch it, it just gets to the point of "now I can watch it anywhere - on the move"...and then the diminished value kicks in on that front, too.
*On that last one, I am not 100% sure if it is just me though - my least spec'd TV is 65 inches, 4K / 1200 motion flow / 3D (and on and on - HDR etc) so watching on a 5 or 6 inch screen is not exactly worth the same.
I.e. if I want to watch something the least amount of energy I can put into it is to move my ass onto a bed / couch and fire up the TV to watch it.
That is the problem for me ; content in this day and age just sucks these days - TV programs and films just are not what they used to be.

tbh I don't get what all the fuss is about Sky Atlantic, just watched Patrick Melrose - v.disappointing, and rest seems to be imported US tripe, much like the rest of Sky's output.

I don't think that Sky's output is all bad but they have got into the production end of drama and series late. The films are all produced by one of the big 5 and they excelled at sports which they themselves covered and dominated but the production of TV drama is something they lack.
I tried one series on Sky Atlantic and it
sucked - urgh I pay 80 + a month for this for like one network / show and the recording facility.
