That is all. Yes, it’s just TV, but TV will be presented differently.
I have acknowledged that there may be some minority IPTV channels as they exist on Pluto, and if you think that justifies your argument, so be it. I have never denied that these may exist in the future. However, the main broadcasters will not look at that as any kind of solution.
You may have four streaming services, and well done you. But that argument does not make the comments you have made any more relevant.

I'm still at a loss here Old Boy - are these linear scheduled channels in the conventional sense and if so why will it work for minority interest channels and not the biggest names in the business and the state broadcaster?
On the contrary OB my having 4 streaming services demolishes your attempts to present my television preferences as outdated. I'm not talking about me - I'm talking about the television market as a whole.
I think it's easier rather than conflate your comments and throw in minority interest platforms that have 4 users like Pluto TV to answer questions as I present them with reference to popularly used products in the marketplace.
If someone was casting BT Sport 1 from the iOS app to a Chromecast would you describe them as watching linear television? Would they be streaming? Would they be both?
