I can guarantee you I won’t.

My humble 4mbit is more than adequate for Netflix, Apple and Prime TV (and I have all of them), yet right now I’m happily watching the second half of a documentary on BBC4 that I stumbled across.

I don’t want to settle in for an hour of event TV. A little light filler for the 20-30 minutes before the kids go to bed is just what I’m after right now, and the linear tv schedule makes that quick and easy to find.

Nope. But I can accept you may see it that way. Can you say the same for me?

Oh, and whoops, looks like we have three scheduled linear channels closing in January.....
Two channels I’ve never watched and won’t miss.
