Excuse me it;'s not nonsense.
NowTV is already on there for movies, and was there for sports as well but only for talk talk customers. There was a technical limitation preventing live channels.
The platform certainly is not neutral. BT and talk talk are both members of youview.
The technical limitation has now been fixed, if you ask Sky why isn't the full nowtv available they will say they can't tell you.
if you were a bt customer and you only had access to sky sports 1 + 2 yet if you went through now you'd get all 5 + F1..... you'd do that surely.
I love how you instantly tried to dismiss me. By the way I have a retail youview humax, I do know what's on there.

sky have to pay £250,000 to allow the likes of talk talk etc to use their streams into a now tv app of course only available to talk talk / bt. An agreement has not been reached yet and while this continues I am sure BT want it in their favour.
it should be noted that the EE set tob box supports it as well as every other device, it is just youview thats suffering.
