Possibilities of Now TV

As Now TV is an online service, what's not stopping Sky launching an exclusive channel, or the other networks showing alternative versions of its channels which doesn't have to obied to the watershed? Ofcom don't have any regulations in place do they for online channels?

I can't see Sky launching an exclusive channel just for Now TV customers given that most of their customer base have dishes, and I'm sure that OFCOM have regulations in place for online channels.

Looking into this further, Ofcom regulate OD content, but there isn't a watershed in place, which could open the door to broadcasters taking advantage of this, even though Ofcom have suggested bringing in a watershed, but has admitted, its unlikely they will succeed in doing so.

It is a good thing there isn't a watershed in place either. In Germany, the catch-up services have a watershed which means you can't even watch a programme on-line before the watershed if it originally was aired after 9pm.

Crazy situation and it makes it all useless for shift people.

At least in the UK, many services do the much better idea where they can set PINs for lock certain content away from kids.
