I challenge you to find it in a legally binding contract, Charter, primary or secondary legislation.

Tony Blair said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Theresa May said there would be no 2017 General Election.

Your faith in politicians might explain your faith in digital marketing blogs though!

Interesting way to describe streamers not offering value for a little more than the price of a London pint.

Except for the linear dinosaurs like your wife, apparently.

No you don't, that's why are are still here five years on having the same debate.

No.

Prioritise that and get Vodafone broadband for £21 a month and a SIM for £15, net saving £63 a month.

You are right they don't exist - only the fantasy in your mind.

Oh?

A curious way to say that it represents extraordinary value.

Cheaper than streaming it, I suppose!

You have all the credibility of a communist dictator enjoying all the exuberances of capitalism while telling the proletariat what to think.

Comrades!

You should get streaming! Uou should satisfy yourself with less choice! greater expense! You should lose straightforward access to content and instead use a range of apps! It will be wonderful!

I'll sit with my V6 on the full package, the market leading product but if you could all cancel to assist the achievement of my glorious vision for the future, that'd be much appreciated!

Now we know you're trolling! What a lot of bullshit you do spout! You just contradict for the sake of it. Obviously, you must get off on this so I will leave you to your own devices.

Or just watch something else on the hundreds of linear channels and tens of thousands of hours of on demand content available?

I don't know why Old Boy seems to think Disney have viewers the same was as Manchester United have 'fans'.

So you can't find it? I have asked you to reference something that must be publicly available.

Thanks for clarification. And you accuse me of trolling! You adopted someone else's argument without evidence simply because it was against me.

No way, mate. I don't know how you think the schedulers will fill all the gaps in their schedules once the streamers get their acts together. Repeats of Dixon of Dock Green and Thank Your Lucky Stars, no doubt!

Look it up yourself! It's about time you gave us a few links to justify your criticisms of everyone else.

I ask, for the third time, can you evidence where the BBC would be acting illegally after 2020 if it didn't fund TV licences for the over-75s.

You are the one trying to take me to task here with something that should be available in a Charter, primary or secondary legislation. It's a quick win, surely?

Unless you simply made it up. I can't prove something doesn't exist!

And again, I said look it up yourself. Where did I make such a claim anyway? I have never said that the Beeb would be acting illegally if it no longer funded licences for the over 75s!

It's the same point as the Government saying it can push it to subscription services during the Charter.

What Boris says, and what Boris can do (also known as reality), are two different things.

It's a completely different point, which you have introduced deliberately to confuse issues.

I don't need to justify to you what I have said about the licence fee. It's a matter of record. The BBC know it is most likely to be abolished following the next licence review, and they are working towards that eventuality, whether you, Den or I like it or not.

So stop trying to shoot the messenger.

You don't change your electric supplier ever month either!

Most people wouldn't be changing their streaming service every month, either. Some would, though. The lack of a contract gives you far more freedom than a Sky or VM subscription.

Despite what you say, there are plenty of people on these forums who endlessly talk about switching, obtaining the best deals and so forth. With streamers, you are able to access huge amounts of good content very cheaply. Switching streamers is extremely easy, as you well know.

Except for the fact that Disney will release it's new shows weekly very clever considering they'll have only a fraction of what Netflix has currently at launch.

So not as easy as you suggest to swap if you are watching something with a lot of episodes that get added weekly.

Disney will be safe because of the amount and popularity of the content they own as will some of the established players although they may struggle to grow at the rate they once did. Others will struggle though in my opinion.

There are quite a few good series that have over 20 episodes MM but OB's thinking does not often equate with bread and butter reality.

Add to that, Disney and Amazon offer a lower annual subscription rate. If you want the freedom to pay monthly and hop on and off a service, you will pay a premium for it.
