Why would channels "give up the fight"? Eyeballs means money, and viewers are watching broadcast televison above all else.

Broadcast television is incredibly convenient. You press the on button and go. My gran could even do it, before she died in the late 90s. My niece can do it, and she's four. Does my big brother want to leave her with an iPad and a YouTube app to watch Iraqi beheadings? No.

What could be better than a streaming service with "all your favourite shows" - by which I assume you mean all your favourite shows from a single supplier - would be a V6 or a Sky Q merging all the different broadcast methods into one.
