I always thought the whole point of them was for passive viewers rather than as a catch up service. Someone flicking for something to watch essentially has 2 ITV2s, 2 More4s etc that could grab them, therefore double the potential opportunity for eyes on adverts.
That's my understanding of the incentive for a broadcaster too. As a viewer, back in the days where three quarters of an average evening's viewer came from a DTR, they were often useful tools in managing record conflicts (particularly when I lived in a flat with just a single satelite feed) - but again I doubt that was a plus point for the broadcaster.
ISTR back in the early days of Freeview when E4 went FTA, E4+1 was actually a noticably better quality stream.
