[Poll #1656749]

A quick definition for the non-technology-minded:
If you're watching it on iPlayer or via any website, or via Video On Demand, then you're streaming. If you download a file to your computer to watch whenever you feel like it then you're downloading.
Oh, and VHS tapes, for the purposes of this poll, count as shiny disks. You are also banished back to the Second Millenium.

Oh, absolutely. You'll always have event TV, and people will flock to that as it appears. It would make sense to use broadcast-ish standards to get stuff like that out to a large chunk of the audience cheaply.

But, even with "everything" to watch, people are self-limiting. Me and Julie are 1/3 of the way through season three of Chuck, and in the middle of season four of How I Met Your Mother, and we're happily following those. Once we've finished them we'll find something else to watch instead.

True, you will always have tv guides to guide you or friends or online reviews or tivo telling you what you like, so there'll be enough out there on the fringe of your perception that you'll have a limited pool out of which to make a decision.
