Users in the US, if they registered their TV with Sony, are perhaps surprisingly being sent a voucher for a significant discount on a Firestick but no sign of this for us - at least I haven't despite being registered with Sony.
Although a bit annoying, I'm not really moaning as TV is 7 years old, has a DVB-T2 tuner and works perfectly. As it already has a NowTV box attached I'll change that for a Roku express rather than adding a Firestick.

I can't see that happening. These channels make money that is ploughed back into making new programmes. The BBC also appear to be expanding the UKTV channels that they ended up with as Drama +1 is again testing on satellite.
