Now TV offers little hope for watching events on specific device types such as VR headsets.
Many other device types - and NOW TV competitors allow streaming to VR headsets.
BT and other companies do. I learned there is a blocking technology called something like "DRM" that prevents use of such devices and you get a blank screen.
The viewing experience for a PPV sporting event or other entertainment is immense on VR devices.
It would be good for NOW TV tech people to address this!

What you say makes sense, the technology is not there yet and it's certainly has not caught the attention of the wider viewing public, so it's still a few years off.
And I think the main criticism of VR, being isolationist, I think is it's biggest impediment to it's public acceptance, something that it has to overcome.
Speaking for myself, and I'm now an old fogey, there's still a lot of enjoyment to be had from, and improvements to be made to, mainstream consumer tech and devices that have "family and friends" appeal.
