Yes, I raised this simply because some views expressed have been that there will always be the Sky Sports channels as they are now because people want to watch sport live. I just wanted to make it clear that we could simply have streamed channels, which you could watch live.
There has been confusion on this thread due to some pedantry over technical terminology. Whilst I accept completely that watching live by streaming is linear TV, just as our broadcast channels are linear, the word 'linear' has been used quite widely on the internet as meaning the conventional broadcast channels.
However, the point I have made here is not irrelevant to those who prefer to watch everything via conventional scheduled TV.
