I've not seen anything to suggest that it will be via VOD, the only mention of this is in relation to the Discovery channel itself.

Have I missed something?
The details of the agreement with PBS have not been revealed at this stage. We don't know whether there will be extra channels, more on demand or whether the nature of programming on the one channel will be changed. However, the fact that Sky had contingency plans to replace the Discovery channels with PBS leads me to believe that perhaps additional channels were envisaged to give the impression that Sky viewers hadn't lost out.
