They still don't seem to want to spend any more than they absolutely have to though eg no C5 HD on Freeview, putting Channel 5 HD behind a paywall on satellite etc.
True but surely the cheapest thing to do would have been to put 5* +1 or 5 USA +1 onto the extra slot on Freeview. Replacing or creating additional 24/7 streams on other platforms seems crazy if it's only to accommodate 5 hours of actual programmes.
