You have pointed out countless times that we are 'only' talking about a different method of delivery. Nobody is arguing with you on this point. But it will be a completely different experience for those viewers who have never experienced the delights of on demand viewing and streaming. That very change will see off the existing scheduled channels.

Live sport over IP is still scheduled TV. It really isn't a completely different experience, it's exactly the same, right down to the commercials that run at half time (yes, Amazon played adverts at half time). Streaming live sport is not a delight, at its best (i.e. when you have sufficient bandwidth) it is exactly the same as watching Sky Sports, you sit down in front of your TV before the match starts, select the appropriate channel from the electronic programme guide (or item from the menu) and open a beer.
