As I recall it, we had problems when analogue became digital (buffering, pausing, braking up of picture, etc), and when we first got HD broadcasts (much the same). No such problems now, though, are there?
Similarly, I would expect all those live streaming problems to be sorted within a few years.

you weren't using a delivery system out of your hands back then though.
the problem today is that it relies on the internet, which isnt just a single pipe into the home for TV. thats even assuming you can get 40mbs solidly in the first place.
if it were the only choice, fair enough, but its a decision made for whatever reason, cost I assume, but its a self defeating solution. people are used to eurosport being able to transmit on a linear channel in 4k, the BBC should of course be able to as well. but the bbc is dead anyway, killed off by the slow death of a thousand cuts so no one really minds its demise.
