The use of the word ‘linear’ was meant to refer to our traditional TV channels. It was widely described in this way on the internet at that time. Unfortunately, I didn’t bargain for all the nit-picking that would result from this on the forum. Silly me.

Anyway, let’s move on. All of that was five years ago. Time to get over it. It’s much more interesting to talk about various scenarios that may transpire in the coming years.

Except for those who cannot bear the thought that all those channel numbers might actually disappear over the next decade or so and don’t want to even try to imagine that.

Baiting again, jfman?
It’s not a matter of getting over anything, old bean. This is a discussion forum. Discussion relies on propositions, evidence and argument. If your propositions keep changing - which they do - then your evidence is irrelevant and your arguments are meaningless. That’s why the discussion keeps orbiting your shifting definitions of terms. Until we all know what we’re talking about there’s no point trying to proceed.
