It's not strange at all, Den, that is the way it's always been done in the past and it is still how the majority of the country gets its viewing.

Once again, your arguments relate to the now rather than the future, and this thread is about the future. The changing trend is there for all with their eyes open to see.

Streaming live events is tricky in these early days, with blocking, stuttering and latency issues, but streaming will become much more attractive when these problems are resolved, and of course once high speed broadband becomes generally available throughout the country.
