So replacing linear tv is all about being able to stream sport reliably - unfortunately for the majority we are light years away from being able to do that.

Additionally, if streaming of sport is so imminent why are Eleven Sports looking to do a deal with Sky and others to carry their sports rights via a linear channel?
