It never made sense why C4 didn't add the BOX suite to their streaming service as an easy way to be providing additional contents. Guessing there may have been rights issues but they were previously streamed online and via their own app, plus three via the red button on Freeview. Baffling they axed those streams just as streaming was taking off really.
I think other than +1 channels and perhaps 4Seven the rest are safe for now. They all have a purpose really and it might be easy to say why does Film4 exist when it's something non-PSBs could do but in reality other than Great Movies the other PSBs don't do it and Films is one of the most popular Freeview channels.
I think with movies too whilst on demand is great there is something to be said about discovering films you wouldn't necessarily seek out too.
