  It's somewhat reasonably explained in Jörg's reference, so I suggest
to read that.

  It's 'normal'/'scheduled'/real-time/<whatever> TV as we've always
known it. The transmission technology is not really relevant, so it
covers both OTA and any other method, cable, satellite, etc..

  I have cable TV, but most of what I watch has been recorded (by me),
so it's no longer "linear TV". If that hasn't confused you, I have to
try harder,
