That's as may be, but once people are using on-demand, each individual requires a stream and it can't be multi-dropped any more. So what are they going to do, store the last two weeks of every channel on a local server? I don't think so.

I don't know, but the Freely advertising says "no need for an aerial, just WiFi", which is the same as Sky Glass. All well and good while the numbers are low, but I can't believe there is enough bandwidth to cope with mass adoption. I think the same about cars with radar: fine while there's...

What's going to happen if suddenly everyone goes over to Freely instead of their aerial (as our government seem to want)? Where's the Internet bandwidth coming from?

I've had a similar experience today. I was in a pub with several screens about the place, and got interested in the show jumping coverage on TNT (I presume carried by Sky). It was just coming up to the jump-off (where it gets exciting) and the channel got changed! Some prat in another bar not...

Did that come out the way you intended??

Perhaps that's the push I need to stop using Safari! The problem is if I click a link in (say) and email, it gets opened in Safari by default. I tried the Dolphin browser some time ago, and went back to Safari for that reason.

That's an idea – do you think (with a concerted effort) we could make it query its own existence and disappear in a puff of logic (cue the Hitchhiker's references...)?

The problem is like Pandora's box – the horse has bolted. Every tech firm and their dog now promotes themselves as having AI functionality (even in applications where I can't see that it would add anything, nor even be possible), so if you do the sensible thing and not use AI you lose out...
