However, these problems will resolve themselves over the next few years, including latency, which the BBC has prioritised right now.
The main terrestrials are indeed likely to last the longest as the smaller channels become financially unviable. It stands to reason that once the majority of people move to on demand programming, advertisers will want to pay less for their reduced audiences. The bigger channels will be able to keep going for a while, but those that are not making a lot of profit at the moment will go under.

Agree with a lot of what you say, however why is there a need for streaming - set channels up, with ability to record 6 channels at any one time per V6 box you can watch linear channels when you want.
Agreed you cannot watch before the broadcast time (even if you can with streaming) but as I'm interested in sport you cannot watch it before it is played
