But Sky's business model (and to a lesser extent BT's) is built on sport not movies and the dross that fill the other hundreds of channels.
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?
