If Old Boy is able to address the point as to why broadcasters are hmm, freely doing something that goes against his perception of what they want to do (to make their content on-demand only) then I think we may be able to make some useful progress on this thread.
You are on a different planet, Andrew. I’m on planet Earth by the way, hi!

Of course Freely has TV channels on it. TV channels are still broadcasting, and will be for the next 5-10 years.

Freely was designed to show them during this transitional phase as well as providing on demand access, so what’s your point?

The main TV channels are likely to disappear within that timeframe. That is what the broadcasters envisage. Assuming that happens, Freely will still offer streaming channels but it won’t be able to offer conventional TV channels because, if all goes without a hitch, they will no longer exist.
