Oh I've heard of Pluto TV, but I thought it was like Freeview, in as much as there's not much worth watching. Will check it out

Can't find it on Pluto TV via the Now TV dongle. We tried looking for Pluto TV via the smart TVs channels and it crashed the Virgin media box!

Well I watched the first 2 episodes on Pluto TV via NowTV (streamed), the 2 episodes consecutively. I'm not sure how ST it feels, its so far removed from everything we love about ST. Its good but has terrible moments of bad science. The gravity fails so they all shoot upwards, floating. When Book's ship is compromised he flies backwards. But what am I talking about, this is Sci Fi, not SF...

Star Trek Cyber Monday TV deal – Paramount Plus offering a free month
Paramount Plus is offering a free month off its Essential and Premium plans moving forward, with this Cyber Monday deal
I only just realised Season 4 had finally been released. I couldn't find it on Netflix (one of the main reasons I pay for it), couldn't even find Seasons 1-3 any longer, then I read this thread 
This is exactly what happened with the end of Stargate. I can wait, as I did then. When I finally saw it, it wasn't exceptional. I do agree that Picard is a better show compared to what we saw in Season 3, although whether Picard will be available in the UK is another question.
I've heard of it but I'm not paying for yet another streaming service.

Pluto is free to stream but to be honest, this move by Paramount has made me not want to exert the little effort in finding Pluto to watch the new season.

Pluto is free with Now TV. I don't know about other TV serversI only just realised Season 4 had finally been released. I couldn't find it on Netflix (one of the main reasons I pay for it), couldn't even find Seasons 1-3 any longer, then I read this thread

Don't you have to pay for Now TV?

Thanks, I appreciate the help, but I already found that. However, I couldn't find Discovery. It says "Not found on this planet" if you search for Discovery or Star Trek. I do have a Now TV dongle that was my daughter's, but the subscription has long expired. Like you said:

Yes, that's streaming! But with commercial breaks. The last commercial break is right before the credits. The ad finishes, the program returns, just to show the credits.
"Streaming" just means you can watch something while it is still downloading, as opposed to downloading the entire file of something, and then playing it. Generally, streaming services allow you to do that anytime you feel like it. Only being able to watch at a particular time is "live streaming" and usually reserved for live performances like a concert or performance. I'm sorry, but Pluto TV is just being very odd in that respect.

Well its the only way we get to watch STD 4 so...
Which is exactly the point!
I guess some people have Now TV as an App on a Smart TV and can then record it. I don't have a modern enough TV to do that so it would have to be spaghetti wiring.
How can anyone responsible have thought that to make the only legal way to watch this hugely popular series in the UK would be in this method on some obscure live streaming channel like Pluto TV? Do they actually believe that people will watch it that way and not via bit-torrent file-sharing websites instead? I'm not condoning the use of illegal streaming services, what I'm saying is that if you really want to put them out of business, give people a way to pay to legally view programmes. It isn't just Star Trek Discovery season 4 and the end of the final season of Stargate where this has happened. There are a number of science fiction shows that were extremely popular in the US but that were on no platform elsewhere in the world and the legal US sites were region blocked on the internet. They obviously don't care about fans outside of the USA at all.
