Content is increasingly viewed as crap. 60 min of TV feels like 25 min of commercials on some nights.
It is ironic that all the cool technology HD/3D is coming at a time when viewership is declining.
I think people will want to actually own quality movies/programming. If the DRM gets in the way of the last shreds of quality TV, we can kiss TV goodbye.
I'm down to maybe 4 hours a week and I don't miss it at all. I think the next frontier will actually be metered pay-as-you-go where you get billed a flat rate of say $1/hour regardless of which digital channel you are watching. At the end of the billing period your hours get tabulated and that's your bill. Case closed.
