CH5 and other ViacomCBS channels with their HD version in the most prominent position still have their SD counterparts available, despite HD version being available to the same tiers, which was probably why it was said I'm guessing.

Isn't there an option to have the coupons sent by post? I don't know, it's a long time since I used Tesco.

Tesco regularly send them in the post. For all but the newer members they will be the default, you have to opt-in to alternatives.

From news received this morning, this has now been added to customer networks and linked with Full House / Maxit subscription tiers / packs.

Aha! so streamers setting up traditional linear services is just a milestone marking the path to a linear free 2035? .

It’s just a recognition of the current state of play with streaming and the fact that broadband is not fully rolled out. Nothing strange about it.

The only certainty about the universal broadband rollout schedule is the ever increasing slippage period.
