My mum knows how to watch eastenders on demand if she's missed it. But she'd just rather watch it "live". She knows the time its on so whats the point in her watching it on demand later on?
I agree that sport will always be linear, but I think it will be streamed (ie live) rather than through conventional broadcast channels.
