The thing is economics, and principles of retailing anything, are largely frozen in time. Streaming is just another mechanism of delivering television - it’s not the revolution you claim it to be and a streamer has to have a viable model just as ITV Digital, Setanta, ESPN and others have tried. Where are the customers?
I have pointed out numerous times that Sky have the customers to be profitable on day 1 of a rights window. Everyone else has to catch up.
And that’s just it - it’s solely your thoughts. No-one has ever had to sit down and watch adverts since PVRs came out. Yet, the observable reality is they do. You see people as simple, straightforward and inclined to do what you prefer. However consumers aren’t a single homogenous group going to wake up tomorrow and decide to stop watching scheduled television.

Haven't watched adverts for 20 years, don't see any reason to start now.
Watched the Leeds v Hull game yesterday, just like watching at the ground (with exception I watch what I am shown rather than what I want to see) - no action replays at all, no recording so had to wait 15 minutes for the 2nd half.
Progress - I think not!
