Things are changing so rapidly. Statistics never tell the whole story. The Susan Boyle 'event' over the last few weeks demonstrated something very important. People will watch online when there is something they can see that they cannot get on TV. My 14 year old watches a couple of shows on Hulu because we don't have Tivo and she cannot watch them during their normal air time. Plus she occasionally likes to go back and watch again. I discovered an old movie onlinemy dad has been wanting to see for 25 years. It wasn't at Blocbuster or NetFlix. I Emailed the YouTube link to him, and he watched it. He was ecstatic. He loves "The Rockford Files", which he cannot get it on any of his 100 cable channels. I found it for him online, now he watches an episode every few days. My mom keeps up on her favorite soap opera online, as she often misses episodes. Consumers want (no demand) to be able to watch the shows they want, in the order they want, when they want to see them. Tivo helps, but Tivo requires you to capture and store what you want. This is seriously flawed. The Internet will solve this problem.
