Just as he took the Coleago Report as confirmation of his theory but, industry publication, TVB Europe took the highlights of the report as its options for continued support and modernisation of DTT.
When it comes to analysis of industry data, I'd prefer to consider the summary provided by an industry publication (TVB Europe is published by the b2b division of Future plc) to the views of an individual obsessed with a "streaming only" future.
Actually, no, I’m looking for alternative scenarios that actually make sense in the light of what we can see happening with our own eyes. The government prevaricates (has no money); limited alternative options are postulated by Ofcom (one of which I am suggesting); Aquiva is looking at a way of modernising the system (which won’t solve the problem of diminishing profits as key viewers continue to migrate to streaming); the broadcasters want to broadcast via one, not two systems….all the evidence is there that DTT will not be available after 2035 without government intervention, which will cost money if they want to preserve the methods of the past.

My view has not shifted from what I said 10 years ago, and I see everything developing the way I said it would. I’m not looking for confirmation, I am looking for anything that might happen to disrupt this process. Nothing has been revealed so far in this thread, despite those desperate responses that are designed to look so knowledgeable. You don’t have any answers to the points I’ve made in the above paragraph that stand up to scrutiny.

I’m sorry to be so blunt, but really, your rude posts are beyond the pale. I much prefer a sensible discussion. I rose above all this playground stuff many moons ago.

I do that as well, but not on this forum. It’s much too hostile. I’m only sticking around because I started this and want to see it through.
