Well, for starters, the subscription cost for Now TV has been established and it has been well publicised. Why would Sky not agree to Now TV being on TiVo when it's available elsewhere? A complaint to OFCOM might be in order...

Plus bbc 4 is another version of bbc 2. bbc 3 is a youth channel. I have no idea why bbc 4 wasnt axed. plus itll look horrible on the tv guide...bbc 1, bbc 2, bbc 4....
It's cheaper to put programmes on demand than run a linear channel. Those programmes, as you say, will be available 24/7. What's not to like?
