Yeah, but didn't you say that 'E.4.' were able to do this because of their main channel? Couldn't 'U.K.T.V.' be able to do this because of their free-to-view channels?
Does 'BBC Worldwide' (half 'U.K.T.V.' owners) have free-to-view rights?

Explain to me then, why UKTV History and UKTV Bright Ideas broadcast in the clear on Freeview. Utter rubbish!
Because UKTV hold the free-to-air rights for the History and Bright Ideas programming, but they hold pay TV rights for the programming on the other channels.

Oh I'm not sure. Probably not because BBC owns only 50%. E4 is owned 100% by C4 (or 4Ventures; whichever!).

It's not possible because UKTV only has the pay-tv rights to all of its programmes. They would have to buy the free-to-air rights to show anything. Otherwise it would simply be a 24 hour testcard.
E4 made the move because the shows they had pay-tv rights to, they also had free-to-air rights to because of C4.
