It wasn't VM, it was the BBC. Their whole original plan was that the streams were to be on connected devices only i.e. delivered over broadband, not linear channels.

The trouble is now Sky viewers can record individual "streams" VM viewers will want to do the same. As i can't see VM adding 24/48 new channels how hard would it be to write software which allows us to record each Olympic App stream?

Considering the channel announcement is new, we don't yet know what VM will do
As for writing an app. The recording tuners on TiVo aren't designed to pick up video via the broadband connection as far as I know, because there is no need. So they can't see the output, wouldn't have a channel to tune to or have EPG timings
