There is no conflict here, Den. If our broadband infrastructure is not yet up to scratch and so many homes would not be able to stream football as a result, it makes sense to supplement the streaming service with broadcast linear channels pro tem.

Incidentally, it could even be that Amazon piggy back onto existing sports channels to maximise their audience share. There are lots of possibilities I can see here to overcome the existing problems that we have.
