Analogue and digital
In the past TV was shown through analogue via the transmitters but now it all digital.

Internet and Interactive
In the past Internet didn't exist but now we can use the Internet to watch film and TV content, legally and illegally. Interactive is through the red button which is linked to the show we are watching.
