They advertise it as "1:15 on C5" and there's always comments along the line of "and it's on 5 Star too."
I always think the younger generation are so used to streaming they don't care about picture quality, especially as none of the PSB's players are all that great. The commercial ones are SD outside of Sky and Virgin. iPlayer musters 720p but you have that awful film effect on everything.
From C5's point of view the primetime ad quotas mean it's better off on 5 Star where it can include advertising at 6pm/6.30pm (do they still have two internal breaks?) than on the main channel where it is now more beneficial to use their ad quota later in the evening now.
Even if they stuck it on C5 at 4.30pm though that would be better than just showing at lunchtime where once Neighbours is gone it'll be rather unsupported in the schedule.
