Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future

This allows you to shift the goalposts, essentially “winning” the argument if one of two set but very different scenarios happen:

a) linear channels cease broadcast over cable, satellite and DTT, but continue over IPTV
b) linear channels cease completely.

One of those is infinitely more likely than the other, but probably still not within your timeframe. I’m asking you to tell us which of the two you mean and stick to it. An answer a) or b) uncaveated would be useful at this point.

Which we know you won’t do.

If you have difficulty understanding either, or the difference, then you’re probably not the best informed person to be making the argument you are and it’d go some way to explaining how we got here after six long years.
Right, I will go along with you Chris because I agree with you on many things you say, but we disagree on this one thing.

The questions you posed were:

a) linear channels cease broadcast over cable, satellite and DTT, but continue over IPTV
b) linear channels cease completely.

I think you are overthinking this. I have always been thinking about scheduled linear channels, like BBC 1,2,4 ITV, ITV2,3,4, etc.

All I am saying is that all that content will be categorised by type rather than by channel on IPTV. Broadcasters such as BBC and ITV will continue to exist.

Why is that so difficult to understand? That’s all I have been saying!

Still waiting for an answer other than “who cares”.

I’m calling it a night for tonight as last time you spun it out to 4am with no clear answers and the mods weren’t happy,

I’ve asked clear questions and explained my rationale for doing so.
But..but..you still haven’t answered my post!

I said ‘who cares’ because it had nothing to do with my argument!

Sweet dreams!
