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!
Ah, so it's based on the same assumption as the rest of your "streaming is the future" predictions - that streaming and linear are somehow mutually exclusive and that major content companies won't continue to utilise both. No point in wasting another thread on the same basis, really. Anyone can just find any of the seven topics you've started on the matter.
