I'm positive that streaming is taking over, SP. I know that some people tend to be passive in front of the tv, but a growing number are learning and expecting to take control.

Well you know yourself nearly all of my tv is streamed one way or another, i do think you are onto something when you said streaming will overtake linear in the future.
I think it will tvplayer are a good example of online tv company testing the waters with premium channels on their platform, nowtv have also said more channels are joining nowtv next year.

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
It would appear that it's becoming even more attractive for the linear channels to move to 'on demand' programming.

Another example of EU dabbling which results in the opposite of the intended consequences.

In his world?
It's happening mate more and more services/networks are launching online too he is right in a sense but also you are correct too linear will not die however i do believe linear tv might start reducing channels nothing too extreme maybe losing things like useless secondary channels (i'm looking at you ITV) when they don't have enough new content to fill their existing channels.
Streaming tv and content is growing whilst linear tv viewing is slightly declining.

Re: Linear is old tech - on demand is the future
Am I missing something?
Is there any live sport being streamed at present?
If there is how do I find out where and how to get it?
Also, very importantly (for me - as I work and have a life outside tv) can I record these streamed events to view later?

...And yet concerns about Amazon entering the fray continue to rise. Mark my words, Den, Amazon will make their presence known either this time around or next.
