There’s nothing wrong with my metacognition. But I think that some are having problems with their superiority complexes.

Well done, you, on picking out a couple of words from the first paragraph of the Wiki article...
Quote:
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.
As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the bias results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".[1] It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their level of competence.

Yes, I thought you’d see the connection. Well done, Hugh.

I’ve said before OB is right in spotting trends my issue was always “to zero” - it’s difficult for market forces alone to drive that kind of radical change in a short timeframe. Viewers are agnostic but the nudge is well under way, investment in internet connectivity continues.
A Freeview service of 15-20 HD channels (if it’s worth selling off more bandwidth) and a satellite/cable offering of a further 40-60 UHD/HD channels supplemented by on-demand/streaming is something I could envisage by 2035. I could see streamers launching IPTV channels to promote content but I don’t see this as meaningfully changing the total.

That makes sense to me apart from "commissioning many new birds." which is obviously "shows". Something else on your mind at the time of typing, jfman?

Satellites get called birds because they fly.
I don't see SES or Eutelsat in a hurry to match the number up there right now for the 2035 to 2050 period, but I'm sure they will continue to provide something. In particular as they can be moved to different markets as the situation evolves.

Maybe these are getting the carrier to handle the billing side of things so you get discount if you get the content bill added to carrier bill.
The carrier can then say they can offer content at discount, content can save on all the billing side of things by passing off to carrier.

Re: The future of television
I think that in the medium term Freeview will be squeezed out more and more in favour of mobile phone spectrum.
This is when satellite use will increase as will reception via streaming and 5G.
Eventually DTH satellite use will wain as it will be seen as expensive, cumbersome, old fashioned and a contributor to space junk/non environmentally friendly practices.
In the long term I believe that all* TV, even traditional cable TV who are currently trialling IPTV, will be provided over the internet.
* Maybe for a time one mux will remain for the PSB channels and for national emergency purposes only. Anyone who complains will be told that they are still able to receive what they got in the days of analogue and that anything over and above this was a bonus.

Re: The future of television
Oh dear! It’s at times like this the viewing audience wishes that these broadcast channels were receivable via IPTV.

[EXTRACT]
Television and radio services for more than one million people will remain off-air “indefinitely” following a transmitter fire.
The blaze hit the mast at Bilsdale on Tuesday, disrupting Freeview, DAB and FM Radio signals across North Yorkshire, Teesside and parts of County Durham.

They could equally have wished they had satellite.

Luckily, nothing like that could happen to IPTV…
Oh, wait…
https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...d-outages.html
Quote:
A new Opinium survey of 4,000 UK adults, which was commissioned by Uswitch, has claimed that 14.85 million people have been hit by a “major broadband outage” in the last year – this is said to be three times the number of the previous year’s survey (4.7 million).
Put another way, some 47% of respondents said they had experienced a loss of broadband connection (of any kind) over the last 12 months, while 60% of those people reported that their broadband cut out for more than 3 hours because of a “genuine outage” (i.e. one caused by a “power cut“, the broadband ISP, damage to cables external to a property or routine maintenance to cables external to a property).
The average home affected by broadband outages was said to have been left offline for more than 2 days over the course of the last 12 months.

But ‘indefinitely’ is worse, wouldn’t you agree?

An average of more than 2 days, not a max...

Edinburgh had an average total down time of over 7 days last year, according to the article, while Bristol had nearly 5 days.
Anyway, services are being restored.
