Great video, and even with the low cloud/poor weather, the drone shots look amazing... many thanks.
Just on the subject of TV and other transmitter sites like Winter Hill.... I was wondering what you and maybe other subscribers thought about how, in the near future, such sites will be used?
Just to explain.... given the ever increasing use of streaming services, via the internet, I wonder how long you think it might be before 'old TV' as we've known it... i.e being transmitted from sites like Winter Hill, will continue to exist?
My guess is that the days of needing a TV antenna/Satellite dish for receiving our 'standard' TV service are numbered and will move over to the internet. Winter Hill and other such transmitter sites I guess could be re purposed, to maybe transmit broadband services?
Sky have recently announced their intention to offer their Sky TV, without the need for a satellite dish. Obviously, their whole system now can be carried via broadband and other TV services, that are at the moment using standard TV transmitters, will, I think also move to have their platforms delivered via the internet?
Would be interested in your views? Cheers, and again, thanks for the video. 73
