Nowtv is available on numerous devices including ROKU, EE, certain smart tvs, PC and a few others, vm did not want to pay so they don't get pretty simple really.
It doesn't really matter that Sky Atlantic is also available on Now TV. Now TV *is* Sky and its customers are purchasing the service from Sky on a retail basis. That's not an indication of Sky being willing to provide Sky Atlantic on a wholesale basis at a reasonable price. I'm sure that Sky don't care what device is used to access Now TV, whether it be a Now TV box, a phone, a PC, an EE TV Box or a converted microwave oven. I'm also sure that not every pay tv provider would be happy to have a Now TV app, effectively competing wiith their own pay tv lineup.

But the news that BoxNation isn't being lumped in with the current BT Sports channels on VM's top tier is an indication that there are limits to how far VM is prepared to subsidise sports channels within an entertainment package. If BT continues to add more sports content, requiring more cash from VM, there's no guarantee that VM will add that content to "Full House".
