Only in your mind as there is no trend at all unless you think a few cheap tat bargains!!! in the bargain basement are the latest example of that..
I have provided links to substantiate what I have posted on here over a long period, and I would remind you that the BBC recently stated that they were looking to transitioning to on demand after the next licence review. You may not believe it, which is fine, Den, but it is not 'unsubstantiated', which is what your view of the position is.

Of course there is a growing trend towards the streaming of live sports programmes! What are you on about?

The only reason being that it seemed sensible to make UHD viewing available via streaming and on demand. UHD takes up considerable bandwidth and so I would guess that there would be a limit to the number of UHD conventional broadcast channels that could be made available. Additionally, concern has been expressed about how much UHD you can record given the upper capacity on a V6 box is 1TB - although you did reassure me on that point a few weeks ago.

I guess that technology advances are overcoming problems faster than we imagine sometimes!
