You keep saying never, and keep pointing to England, when (as I said), the US is moving more in the direction of streaming. NBA League Pass, NFL Sunday Ticket, Sling TV, DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, NBC Sports (streaming all 380 EPL games - less than half are televised live on cable).
Fetch TV began using the h.265 codec on the latest boxes, dropping the required download speeds massively. HD movies torrents that used to be 4-10gb downloads for 720p-1080p, are now under 2gb. More media is consumed via YouTube and similar sites as days go by.
I can stream 3 different programs simultaneously in my house on 12mbps adsl2. I had both League cup games playing at the same time this morning, with the net being used in another room no problem. The future WILL happen.
