I agree; there is little point in making the Freeview channels streaming only; a basic PVR coupled with catchup via the web and it's covered quite cheaply and efficiently for the consumer.

It's shows that end up on pay TV services that would be good to have access to via a no minimum contract web subscription rather than have to subscribe to a pay TV service to get them.

Whether those be from the premium US Cable Networks, such as HBO and Showtime etc. or the top rated shows from US Network TV channels (which tend to end up on a UK pay channel). And to be fair, Now TV is making reasonable in roads into providing that. It would be nice to have more options though.
