 quotes:

'television studies has until recently focused on broadcast television, where programs are watched at the time they are transmitted, in the home on a television set' (Bignell, 2013, p.13)

in 2012 all British television transferred to digital... you watch television digitally, on devices like computers, mobile phones or game consoles that are connected to the internet  (Bignell, 2013, p.13)

television sets with built-in internet connectivity provide much fuller watching experience, and viewers are able to download programmes and films, browse the world wide web, or connect to social networking sites via their televisions' (Bignell, 2013, p.13). 

'there is already some convergence between television and digital networking technologies, but shortly this is going to be the norm. this raises questions of whether what viewers do in post-broadcasting world can still be called watching television' (Bignell, 2013, p.13).


'traditional ways of watching will continue and television will adapt to them... television has always borrowed from other media around it, and been a hybrid medium.. adapting all media into its own distinctive form'(Bignell, 2013, p.13).

'the hybridity of television becomes more visible when digital television permits the viewer to do more than just watch programmes as they are transmitted' (Bignell, 2013, p.14).

'watching television streamed over the internet or downloaded from Youtube is as normal as watching broadcasted programs' (Bignell, 2013, p.16)

traditional broadcasters see youtube as a threat due to illegal copies (Bignell, 2013, p.16)

'content-id' - searches the internet for illegally uploaded content (Bignell, 2013, p.16)

internet-' control over content is hard to police' (Bignell, 2013, p.16)

'domestic digital technologies' (Bignell, 2013, p.295)

'the internet was excepted to be the main technology for delivering audio-visual material... 

time-shifted viewing is important. (Bignell, 2013, p.296)

BBC Iplayer, Skyplus, youtube only counted for 7% of television viewing in 2010- the change is happing slowly (Bignell, 2013, p.296)

'Some programs seem more attractive to online viewers than others'(Bignell, 2013, p.296)
