Do you not think it’d be of benefit to have it there in black and white once and for all? Hugh could helpfully link to it in future every time I (or anyone else) gets confused. As he did with my clear definition of what I understand linear television to be.
I don’t think your question has anything to do with what I have written in my posts. How is it relevant? You are just making waves. I refuse to drown in them.

No, they are not. Live/linear/scheduled/conventional TV (whatever you want to call it) are all more prominent on Sky HD/Q and Virgin Media TiVo/360 boxes, and they are the obvious easy ways into the system. If you want to go to Netflix, Prime, etc, you need to go to the apps and get in that way.

There is no comparison, because, for example, if you go to NOW, the obvious ‘go to’ access point is on demand. You have to hunt out the live TV option.

You seem to be an intelligent man in some respects, jfman, so why can you not get your head around all this…unless of course, you are just playing games.

Well, I’m not playing anymore. Happy to debate, but I won’t get drawn into your poisoned net.
