With advancements in set top boxes and Smart TV's etc, I am sure it will be a lot sooner than that. We already have the ability to download programmes and films to watch directly on our TV's via Sky, Youview etc. Technology already allows us to remote record and watch content on the go too. Sky's new app allows you to view your boxes planner via your mobile/tablet and they are currently developing it so you will soon be able to download content to your box via your device so it will be available to view when you get home.

I am sure you will also soon be able to watch content stored on your box via your phone/tablet too. Sky Go Extra also now let's you download content to your mobile device.

In short, the ways we watch programmes now are changing rapidly, and technology is advancing at a quicker rate than we have seen before. Of course sports, news etc will always be there to view live, but I think pre-recorded programmes and films will see a shift in the not too distant future.
