If you see the following links it would appear to be associated with TRS-069 (CPE WAN Management Protocol CWMP) which is used by ISPs to auto-configure routers. I'm not sure if Sky/Now actually use it but it maybe built into the firmware for future use.

Port 30005 (tcp/udp) :: SpeedGuide

TR-069 - Wikipedia

If you describe how you are testing for open ports maybe some other Now users can see if they get the same results. (I'm not yet on Now, but my current ISP, Vodafone, definitely do use it so it will be interesting to see if it says the same for me)
