A UKTV Play on-demand app would be more than welcomed to enable us to catch up on TV from all of the UKTV channels (Dave, Yesterday, Really and Drama).

You know something UK
No one, absolutely no one, is more frustrated than I am that we have to continually wait for the UKTV Play app to be introduced to Now TV but like "all good things" we STILL have to wait.
And annoying the forum moderators and other forum members will not get you anywhere, so rein yourself in, grit your teeth and be COOL until they announce when the app is going to be made available.
You know something else, chances are that the app will be buggy when it is eventually released, and will probably remain that way for the first 3 months.

Hi again H2F
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that there is no need for a separate UKTV app because the "on demand" elements can be incorporated within the Now TV app.
First, I don't believe UK TV itself would agree to your idea, simply because they're the ones who will have to write the app and, like the All4, ITV, iPlayer apps, etc., they would want to have control over how their channels are displayed and consumed. Control they would not have if their "on demand" channels were under the control of someone else.
Second, it is more than likely that UKTV Play will be the template that the UKTV app will be based on, it is unlikely that UK TV will deviate from that policy or divide the forthcoming app into it's component parts in order to hand over it's "on demand" channels to Now TV.
However, my points are purely speculative but are based on how the current big apps and their sponsors work.

There haven't got a date just yet when the UKTV play app is coming to now tv boxes but it might not be far away.

The UKTV play app is likely going to be launching early in the new year on now tv boxes so it's not long UKTV team has said to me.
