A lot of FAST channels are made available to different streaming services by the distributor, there is duplication in some channels between 10 play, 7+ and as you mention Samsung TV Plus. Wicked Tuna, Nature Time, Haunt TV, Movie Sphere are all examples of channels that are duplicated in multiple places. ---
