Pointing out how quickly a TV programme is uploaded by replying to a previous post containg outdated information is what forums are all about. Everyone benefits from the knowledge, not just the original poster.

I don't watch many programmes live these days (apart from live events) so I was surprised to see Old Boy mentioning a period of hours before they were available. As a strong advocate of streaming, Old Boy was the last person that I'd think of recording programmess, so this action felt out of character.

There's a 20-minute gap from 10.31 to 10.51 when News at Ten can't be watched on-demand or via restart but can be watched if you record it.

There's nothing to stop that happening at the moment.
Interest rates are at record lows (borrowing will be the way expansion is paid for) so whilst it would be great to see more expansion, I don't think that the business case changes due to the merger.
