And just for balance, an article from the day after the above that says linear TV isn't going away anytime soon!

I think you may have taken this out of context, Richard. This isn't all about linear TV, it's about television.

I watch streaming services on my TV all the time - never on my small computer screen or tablet!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Thanks John, that did help to explain it.

There's a new scam to extort money from Smart TV users:

Since i've had a FireTV i haven't even connected my ethernet up to my smart TV, don't think i'll ever bother again.

When i have to replace it i'm not bothering with smart TV's again, don't think they're worth the extra money TBH.

I think that they're mostly a waste of time too. When I buy my new TV, any Smart TV capabilities will be purely incidental.

Ad free option for Hulu is a success:

I think that your view may change when you get your Smart TV.

As just one example, whatever I am watching at the time, I can just press the 'Netflix' button on my Smart TV remote and I'm straight in there with the Netflix choices on screen. Very quick and efficient!

I think that they're probably useful when the TV is new, but from what I've researched, the apps eventually stop working well or at all as technology advances.

All else being equal, I would buy a TV with smart capabilities, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor.

Exactly; and it's way cheaper to replace a streamer box when that happens than an expensive TV.

I agree with the point you are making however it depends what timescale your expecting the apps to work for , we have a Samsung in the bedroom which is pretty old and the apps still work and it receives updates from time to time.
