It seems that All4 has been updated to Channel 4 on BT/YouView today. Other than the green animating 4 when you open the app, it remains pretty much the same.

I wonder if they're figuring out how to handle voice commands. Would saying "Channel 4" open the app, or the channel?

On a Fire Stick saying "Alexa Channel 4" takes you to the app.
However, if you say "Alexa
OPEN Channel 4", you are rather bizarrely taken to a game called 'Red Ball 4'.

I just noticed a new trailer after the news and the VO just talks about "stream or watch live on Channel 4".

So the England/North Macedonia match on Channel 4 has advertising boards for Microsoft's Xbox that give out codes for free stuff... which if you try and take a screenshot are blocked by Microsoft's Playready anti-piracy software. Own goal there.

It was a great name, to be fair. Rolls right off the tongue.

The Channel 4 Android app has given the section called My Shows a big overhaul.
It now has "Continue Watching", "My List" and "Recommended For You" categories located within that section of the app.
It also includes a personal greeting with your name on it where it says where you can watch the shows below.
The other sections of the app remain unchanged.

Channel 4 have put out an online survey for anyone who uses Channel 4+ in the UK.
They have said the following in their email:
"Hi ****** (insert person's name)
We’d like to ask you a few questions to help us understand how we can improve Channel 4+, Channel 4's paid for ad-free streaming service. We hope this information will help us build a better experience for everybody.
As a thank you for taking part, you’ll be entered into a draw to win a £50 Amazon gift card."
I wonder what this is about as I think these improvements will probably apply to people who live in the UK only.
