TBI Vision: Technology including video-on-demand and digital video recording has helped change the shape and improve the quality of scripted drama on TV and allowed TV to partly supplant cinema as the home of truly original content, according to AMC Networks boss Josh Sapan.

I think it’s interesting that this article mentions that the advancements in video technology allow for television to “Supplant” cinema as the core of original content. I guess thats precisely what happened when Cinema supplanted Theatre as the core form of original performance entertainment.
Luckily, at this point in time, audiences still can’t have Live Theatre On Demand in their living room.
I remember reading some time ago that the existence of TiVo and other on demand services had completely changed the way that people view television, but I had never really considered that such technology had actually changed the television itself. It does, however, make a lot of sense that this is the case, since once you have the option of viewing a show whenever you want, you can basically watch as many as you want to without worrying about missing an episode because it's only on at a certain time.
