BT used to use multicast for their channels combined with freeview, not sure if it's still multicast now though.
Plusnet and Talktalk were similar using multicast.
Multicast is basically IPTV.

No quite a bit of stuff on the channels wasn't available via on demand as is the same with SKY and i think VM.
