How much longer will network television even exist? With TIVO technology, etc, will there be a need for networks in 20 years?

20 years ago people asked the exact same question, except it was VCRs not TIVO, the question was asked again with cable. For the most part broadcast gets better ratings than non-broadcast, while they might need to alter what they do and how they do it they sure aren't going away any time soon.
