Quite expensive over an 18 month contract considering the price of a 3rd party freeview recorder that will do the same.
What would happen if (bloody big if) freeview gained the contract for major sports and 'new' movies . . . it sure wouldn't be free, but would still be sent over 'normal' channels, not streamed.
You could then still pay out for your 'streamed' Netflix, Amazon, Britbox etc on top . .

Nice idea, unfortunately nobody is going to pay hundreds of millions for sports rights and give them away on Freeview (how would they recover that money?) - if they did I would be forever grateful.
The best we can hope for is that the greedy sports such as EPL gave rights to 1 game a round to terrestrial channels - however again very unlikely to happen.
