You see yourself as forward thinking and ahead of the curve. Other people disagree with you. And your mildly indignant spluttering (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is evident in phrases like of course I know there are many options! What planet are you lot on?) is a function of the fact that in disagreeing with your opinion on this, you feel like other people are effectively questioning your lifestyle.
epsilon implied I didn’t consider other options - which is pretty well in line with what others on this thread have been saying. So my response was appropriate.

You repeat your incorrect belief that my opinion is a reflection of wishful thinking. No. I don’t ‘wish’ that the conventional TV channels will close down, I have merely said that I think that will happen. The PSBs are looking to an internet based future but that goes right over your heads, doesn’t it?

I don’t see what my lifestyle has to do with anything. You are clutching at straws in your effort to respond to my posts, but you have nothing to say. For example, WHY is the TV industry moving in exactly the direction I predicted back in 2015? ‘Digital First’ is the mantra now, and they do not see terrestrial broadcasting being worthwhile after 2035. It may not even last that long.

But of course, you know different. Why is that not a surprise?
