Part of this situation may be the way that because there are so many 
channels on line, on satellite and terrestrial, the few programmes that 
a person or family want to watch are spread so sparsely that we need to 
use all the available services.

The best drama, which used to be only on the BBC, with small budgets are 
now on channels like Netflix, with much larger budgets. If you like good 
drama, you now need to go on line, while the BBC still buy in some of 
the best documentary and science programmes, which are easier to watch 
on Freeview.
