I know that linear scheduled TV is live. The problem was that when I first mooted that linear TV would disappear, some people interpreted this (some mischievously) that this would mean that we could no longer watch sport live, which was not what I meant. I was referring to scripted TV, which would be VOD.

I agreed, once I realised what they were assuming, that of course, sport, news and other live events would be streamed.

I think this question well demonstrates the problem in discussing matters that are technical. Even a question on what is ‘live TV’!
