The future of television

[jfman]

ITV will be the worst example because they have to introduce artificial delays across the regions to allow for efficient stat muxing on satellite.

I suspect most people don’t know how far behind the stadium they are but many will quickly know if they are behind their neighbours or friends they message during events.

...or if they hear a cheer from next door

I had a look at various regions on satellite - and all were well behind.

Stat muxing doesn't need 20 second delays.

I suspect it is more to get certain audio ditched before broadcast.

Jeremy Corbin might have advocated for broadband communism with free broadband for all but I doubt this Government, or the next, or the one after that, or the one after that will.

Sooner or later, they will have to make sure that everyone is able to access broadband, because that will be our access to everything in the end.

People hate the closure of the banks in the high street, but this doesn’t stop it from happening.

Yet there are still banks, only fewer of them. A bit like linear television.

I can think of many billions of reasons why broadband won't simply be given away to placate an unrealistic and unnecessary fantasy of ending linear television.

Many of those who moan about the closure of branches are likely the same people who already do their banking online and don't visit the branches. They just want them there just in case.

So are ‘they’ going to make broadband free … you know, like it’s free to put up an aerial and receive radio waves? Maybe that’s a new thing to do with the TV licence?
