What I want to know is how that’s discernibly different for the end user than what we have now with live television bundled alongside libraries of on demand content from different content providers.
The discernable difference will be more obvious with time, as the content available to linear channels becomes ever more restricted with the rise and rise of streaming services.

Those linear channels not commissioning their own original content will resort more and more to reality programmes and other cheap rubbish as their access to quality drama from other studios dries up.

Picture quality will also improve with new UHD content. Additionally, as we end up with bundles of streaming services rather than bundles of channels, there should be less rubbish being forced on us, although I cannot rule out lots of new cheap streaming services provided free of extra charge by Sky and VM containing a fair proportion of, well, rubbish!
