So effectively, linear channels disappear and are replaced with a menu of streaming options. Don't see the point in that personally.
I think you underestimate the number of technophobes, like your wife, who just like to switch on the to and look at the EPG to see what is currently on.
It has reminded me of a friend who told me his father wouldn't even use the recording facilities on sky - he continued to use his vhs recorder because that was what he knew!
As I have said before, I don't believe the 'super fast broadband is just round the corner' propaganda - the vast majority of the country will still be waiting for it in 10-15 years time.
