Indeed. It would add value to the app and be a relatively cheap way of distributing channels which are also relatively cheap to playout. Exactly what Paramount has done by adding MTV channels to their Pluto app. So, it raises a question why Channel 4 hasn't done this with the existing Box channels. I wonder if it might have something to do with the Bauer branding. It might be better to launch fresh, new channels without the cost burden of brand licensing. It will be interesting to see the eventual outcome.

It would be difficult to extend the existing range of Sky Sports channels without clashing with the Eurosport channel range. Then it becomes an issue if one broadcaster has their channels demoted to add a competitor's channel. Moving out Sky Sports News HD or Sky Sports Racing HD to 537, with a minor reshuffle of existing Sky Sports channels, could give a tidier layout, assuming Sky are happy with that. Otherwise, it will just have to wait until Virgin decides to do an EPG clean-up and reshuffle for the Sport genre.
