All we can see is "V0--" at time of posting - We cant see any real names.

Some of them are also testing audio.

The YouView forums state that Sky decided not to launch its Now TV live portfolio of channels on YouView due to YouView's charging structure. Apparently YouView's per-live channel charging structure currently makes it unviable. The technological barrier which existed at the launch of YouView was removed a year ago.

Do you have a link to that? I ask as i find the youview forums a bit of a nightmare to navigate and according to the NowTV forum they're still hoping to launch the entertainment channels on youview.

This is the official line

The charging structure was one of Sky's many frustrations with Youview along with it's slow development , the technological barrier you talk about still exists with Youview saying around 3 weeks ago they are still working on this.

I think the barrier was unicast which was implemented last year?

I can watch the entertainment through the FireTV box but it isn't a smooth experience seeing as i have to use a remote, or i could use my chromecast but i'd prefer it through the one box.

But again, that quote was from 8 months ago. I dunno, if it happens it happens.

Regarding the link that theone posted above, i think that's already happened as the SS passes have been withdrawn from being available on TalkTalk Youview.
