Broadcast Tv has a simple beauty - a single signal (DTT/satellite) can be viewed by an unlimited number of people, assuming that they have a good signal.
Putting Tv only on the internet would require an increase in infrastructure that seems wasteful of resources and is probably unlikely given the investment that would be needed to implement it.
The internet is a very useful tool but I believe that closing down broadcast Tv (DTT) would result in a poor use of technical resources and it would remove resilience. It makes sense to offer Tv over the internet but not exclusively as the internet is better for use in other areas of interest.
