Before Streaming came along and things were released in box sets I think things were better. For Example something like the Tourist might have got over 5m on BBC 1 but it only got 1m

I have no idea how things will get better, I think too many people are excepting paying for things when in the past they wouldn't

But that technology didn't exist for them to pay for. Why would you pay for something you coudn't use and that didn't exist in the first place?

If we had the technology to make Netflix or an equivalent of it viable in the 1970s, I'm sure there would have some takeup of it. I mean we had satellite technology in the 1960s, and if that had become capable of being used for domestic receivership of signals (satellites being intended initially for communications with TV reception being added about a decade later), well all bets would have been off as to where the audience could have gone.
