Agreed you cannot watch before the broadcast time (even if you can with streaming) but as I'm interested in sport you cannot watch it before it is played
It's simply that people are getting used to an alternative means of viewing. As people get used to watching TV via on demand, watching live streamed events will feel more natural with time. Look how the BBC i-Player has on demand and live streaming integrated. It's pretty seamless, which encourages viewers to use it.

I do a lot of recording, but to be honest, it's a bit of a faff planning what you want to record and setting up each programme or series, and then having to manage your recordings so you don't run out of space. So much easier just to go to your on demand service and pick out what you want as you are ready to watch. The main problem with on demand is the time limitations - I'd use on demand much more if those time limits were not there.
