A few points I noticed:
1 - long-term distribution agreements with Sky, Virgin, Amazon and Netgem TV, and these will continue to be available with the new Viaplay branding;
2 - 220,000 current subscribers; and
3 - the content line-up available on the TV channels will, in due course, be expanded to include Viaplay's broader series and film offering.
This does make them more than a streamer, and it sounds as if their full set of content will be available on their linear channels. Via Sky at least Premier Sport is a direct subscription for the channels, and hence their online player is part of the subscription, via Virgin it is part of Virgin's offerings (as are all channels on Virgin Media), and so their online player is not part of the subscription.
