I dislike this push to move all of media to the internet. Just look at what's happened to print journalism once the managers decided to cut costs and move online. Now most of it is clickbait for ad revenue. Indeed, print subscriptions have been making a comeback recently because at least in print there are standards.

Plus there's the security concern of putting every craptacular TV on the internet and we're one shitty company giving all their displays the same default password away from a massive botnet sending a million Viagra emails a second, or worse, hosting ransomware.

In the future I hope for a separate system from internet protocol that can handle free to view TV. Something that is receive-only like current TV ariels and GPS. Virgin already does this with their one fibre line to the home carrying both their TV service and a separate internet connection. You can get one, the other, or both over that same line. With the rollout of fibre across the country I hope this becomes the chosen solution for people to be able to plug their TV into the line to pick up the free channels without having to pay for internet service if they don't want that (remember that a lot of people's internet connection is their phone).

Looks great, but so far it seems to be just available on new TVs from Hisense. I guess this is because it has fairly large storage requirements in order to let you pause live tv.

I assume at some point it can be made available as an app if you have enough accessible hard drive space, I'm thinking it'll be doable with my Nvidia shield but probably not tomorrow. Would be cool to get this running without buying a new TV.

They'll take my TVHeadend servers out of my cold dead hands if they think I'm signing up for that?
