Defining the point you are attempting to make is entirely relevant.

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.
Ladies and gentlemen the Emperor has no clothes.

For streaming to succeed it requires its competitors to irrationally cede their unique selling point and accessibility on every platform.

It requires competitors to bow before them, redesign their user interfaces.

Who are the average brain dead viewers that streamers so desperately need that are too lazy to navigate with their up and down keys to the content they actually want? Vegetating away on BBC 1 because the Sky remote is beyond their comprehension.

They do not exist, OB. They are a work of fiction you use to sooth yourself that you are right, against all evidence.
