IPTV services have EPGs. That's how people view what's available to them now, alongside other menus that make available lists of what is available on demand.

Boxing PPV is not on a ‘channel’ in the conventional sense, so why should other live events be?
The TV companies could decide to present live events the way you envisage, but they don’t have to. It will be a bit ‘old tech’ by then, don’t you think?

Well no, OB.
Even if you use the BT Sport app, or Sky Sports on "TV from Sky" on a PlayStation despite neither of them being broadcast "over the air" they present what is available live now and what is available "later" in a chronological fashion.
Do you think the average consumer wants to fire up these apps and see a jumble sale of content from the next 7 days with what is available now appearing on page 4 or 5 of a menu?
I think such a concept is palpably ridiculous.
