I have tried to use different language to help you to figure it out like ‘conventional broadcast channels’, etc, but I seem to be spitting in the wind.

For the very last time, I am referring to existing terrestrials and other free and pay tv channels available through the EPG, and I am saying that when they go IPTV, as they will, they will lose their channel distinctions and we will be offered content from that organisation (like, BBC, ITV, Sky, etc) by content rather than by channel.

It’s all I am saying. By my reckoning, it will happen by 2035.
It’s not an interpretation, OB, it’s observable reality. You are persistently and intentionally evasive when it comes down to using very specific definitions of very specific terms.

I’m at a loss as to where Pluto TV fits into this and how it’s distinguishable - if it even is at all - from linear (using the generally accepted definition) broadcasts over IP and why it will be viable for Pluto but not some of the biggest businesses in the market.
