The BBC have the UK rights for the Olympics so any On Demand content will come from them.

Can't really see Virgin Media also adding a separate source to TiVo for the same content.

EDIT: Have re-read the article and have realised it's talking about post Olympic content. So it could be a possibility, but it sounds like the rights negotiations could take a while so doubt it'll be August:

After the launch of the global digital product in August, the Olympic Channel intends to foster partnerships with other Olympic stakeholders, including rights-holding broadcasters and National Olympic Committees to develop localised versions of the Olympic Channel. Localised versions will offer language-specific user experiences on digital platforms, and will also include linear television programming options.
