No, Mr K, the future is streamers. Streaming channels are just a cheap and nasty way of watching free to air TV. There’s a reason I said earlier that I didn’t think they had much of a future. You summed up why I think that very nicely.

For films though, it's utterly useless/pointless, e.g. I'll watch the final half hour now and maybe try and catch the first hour when it comes back round, if I can time it right, and knew the non existent epg !
Don’t even try to watch a TV drama series!

Welcome to the 70s....
Our great streaming future
I don’t see streaming channels as the future. MB seems to be very interested in them, though!
