Re: What hope is there for old-school TV?
There's a good reason why networks other than Netflix and Amazon don't release full seasons at once -- they want to sell more ads with variable pricing. You can sell more expensive ads when there's a mid-season cliffhanger episode!

Re: What hope is there for old-school TV?
@mhh I've wondered the same! Why not release a whole season at once? They could release a full season on paid streaming services before the DVDs come out. I believe Netflix got a few things early like that (as exclusive releases). Netflix used the exclusive access to sell more subscriptions.

Re: no TV?
If someone could build a 55-inch laptop I would buy it.
It would probably have to fold out in some pretty weird ways...

What hope is there for old-school TV?
I think the bigger revolution is in "on demand" (aka streaming?) videos that aren't set to any particular schedule. Netflix has disrupted the old-school "TV season" with binge-watching releases of entire series at once. When will broadcast TV try a marathon viewing?

no TV?
> "The percentage of homes not using a TV at all doubled between 2009 and 2015.."
Hmm. Does this exclude other screens that could act as TVs? Like Youtube on an iPad doesn't count as a TV? Google/Youtube just announced a lot of TV streaming, so it would be a bit strange not to count any device that could access Youtube.

Re: Less Traditional TV
@clrmoney, I agree that people are digesting different forms of information, as well as viewing - that includes real-time posting of sports scores, streaming, watching packages of shows, and/or consuming "connected" information on internet. I think that will continue to grow.
But I fully agree, there will be a place for the universal "national" access to entertainment, sports and live events, news, talk shows, etc., that people will want to connect with in one form or another.
I think this is a transformation that will open new doors and close others.

Less Traditional TV
I'm not surprised because people are finding other things to do beside watch TV. They can use their iPads cell phones etc. Those are really popular now but people still watch TV and that's okay.
