It’s fallen out of favour now, but back in the day a couple of the streaming services showed a quick blast of an ident from whatever linear channel the programme you’d chosen to watch was originally broadcast on. iPlayer did it for a long time, but 4oD did it for a while too, and even used a continuity announcer to do a generic ‘You’re watching 4oD’ announcement.
IIRC, the announcement was different depending on where you were watching - I certainly recall hearing ‘you’re watching 4oD on Xbox’. I’m not sure why they felt the need to tell you what platform you were watching on, but strangely I still quite liked that they went to some extra effort.
