That's the impression I get. After all, all ITVX customers will receive britbox. Whether Britbox customers will get ITVX doesn't seem to have been announced.

Of course, they might have taken this into account when deciding whether to pay for the development costs too.

As had I and part of me thinks this might still be the case - downgrade the product more and more for TV-only customers in the hope they will get VM internet which I presume would make that customer a lot more profitable, and a lot more of value to the business.

Thank you for this, and I guess they could achieve this almost straight away by replacing any timeshift channels with these other channels.
