I think that in the medium term Freeview will be squeezed out more and more in favour of mobile phone spectrum.

This is when satellite use will increase as will reception via streaming and 5G.

Eventually DTH satellite use will wain as it will be seen as expensive, cumbersome, old fashioned and a contributor to space junk/non environmentally friendly practices.

In the long term I believe that all* TV, even traditional cable TV who are currently trialling IPTV, will be provided over the internet.

* Maybe for a time one mux will remain for the PSB channels and for national emergency purposes only. Anyone who complains will be told that they are still able to receive what they got in the days of analogue and that anything over and above this was a bonus.
