We’ve been told that we cannot produce enough energy to support increased streaming, that streamers are not the future, that TV channels will go on forever, and what do we see?
The fact that not quite everyone gets broadband at the moment and that some have to put up with very low speeds is accepted, but why do you consider such things to be insurmountable? And as for electricity, that has long been scotched.
TV channels are set to be closed down, and increased content is going to the streamers instead. We are living in a world of change, where anything is possible.

I assume you’ve missed me pointing out all the streaming services I subscribe to?
The difference is I’m able to disassociate in my mind my preferences as a consumer with the marketplace as a whole.
Guesswork.
Unsure how this is substantively different from the lowest priced triple play offering with a TV360.
As with every TV360 customer.
You’re showing your arse here, OB, by continuing to view both as distinct. Peacock in the USA, Now here, Discovery+ here all stream and offer both linear channels and on demand content over IP. Indeed, so does Virgin Stream!
Often stated, never evidenced.
Yet those that could move to entirely on demand offerings, don’t. You fail to ask yourself why this is.

Where have I said I’m unhappy? Certainly, I dislike having to pay for TV channels when I get most content from streamers, but that is a temporary bugbear.
I am well aware that you also subscribe to streamers, which frankly appears to be a contradiction for you as you moan about them all the time.
I don’t know why it is that you cannot see that if I ditch the TV channels, I will be saving money! I have the Maxit package with Sky Cinema, by the way.
Your arguments sound desperate to me. Why are you telling me that some streamers also carry ‘live’ TV? Do you not realise that most people know that, and what’s it got to do with anything? We are in a transitional period and so of course, like Freely, we are being offered the choice. That will not last, of course, but I understand you cannot get your head around that.
As for your last comment, if TV channels are switched off, that choice will no longer exist. Just ask the ITV CEO!
