It starts with 'I think' - so obviously one persons opinions - hardly enough to set anything in stone. |

A staple of speculative evidence-lacking blog pieces. If you look carefully at what is actually said and not what you’d like it to say all that’s in the piece of substance is the relatively uncontroversial statement of internet based delivery increasing and traditional delivery decreasing. There’s nothing about use of UHF spectrum, viability of 5G for mass content delivery over long range in rural areas (like UHF) or the multitude of other conclusions you have reached in your own head on the basis of a blog. |

I believe the opinion of the majority of the people on this forum disagree with your proposition. |

The following 'if' does not indicate doubt. Read it properly. I really don't care about the point you've made regarding the UHF spectrum - that's your argument not mine. What I am focussing on is what industry chiefs believe, and if you think you know better than them, I would be interested to see your evidence. Instead of denigrating people and links provided in these forums, why don't you start concentrating on the actual arguments being made? Perversity, I suspect. |

Not a single quote, from anyone, except the writer. Who thinks... possibly... if... might... something. The only perverse argument going on around here Old Boy is yours now that scheduled linear television will no longer (in your opinion) see it’s demise by 2035 you are now pretending to have made an entirely different point altogether. I know it’s an entirely different point because I’ve been sat here debating it for the best part of 5 years. |

I guess we are just going to have to accept that you know better than everyone else, regardless of any evidence to the contrary. Yes, well dream on. |

I think that I've a fairly uncontroversial opinion in this thread and that if you were to canvas wider opinion you'd maybe find that to be the case. There's no evidence in that blog, or anywhere else, that indicates that 5G will be any sort of game changer in eliminating digital terrestrial television. The first real consideration is coverage. DTT has 98% coverage. After a £1 billion of investment 4G will only hit 95% in 2025 with the least commercially viable rural areas left outside that. A 4G transmitter will have a range of about 2-3 miles in each direction. On top of that the highest bandwidth 5G will be short range transmitters on lamp posts, buildings, bus stops. Nobody is going to deploy that much infrastructure in commercially unviable rural areas (plus the associated backhaul) to chase your 2035 pipe dream through 5G coverage. People with industry experience would know this, of course. Your average blogger, maybe not so much. Although in fairness to the most recent blogger I think, possibly, if you asked him, maybe he would never have intended it to be used to make the point that you proposed it did. |

Linear tv is dead you know guys so dead that Freeview are starting to catch up with SKY and VM by having HD versions of channels in place of sd channel, not to mention a online service coming too. https://www.cordbusters.co.uk/freevi...annel-changes/

That sounds like they are making streaming appear to be a linear channel.
I wonder why they would do that - it flies in the face of OB's predictions |
Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
What do they know?

Open your eyes and see what is actually happening. Even the main terrestrials will not be here forever. To wit: https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...t-away-from-tv To be honest with you, I thought the smaller channels would be the first to go...but Channel 4? Wow! |

4 is a public service broadcast channel, and the company that runs it is state owned.regardless of where they see future *growth* in their overall business, Channel 4 itself will continue to exist, has the same hours to fulfill and the same legal obligations as to what it fills those hours with. |
