Harrow is new, so I won't pass judgement on that, but I reckon just the Paramount Network on its own, with its additional films on screen this coming week, does rather better than those three UKTV channels combined.

I agree that the UKTV shows were not bad when they were first shown, but they have been done to death now. They should all be on Freeview, in my humble opinion.

Seems a lot of VM customers disagree with you OB. There's hundreds of threads on this subject of the official forum.
People have different tastes which may surprise you,, maximum choice is best, we're not getting that atm, with VM.

Just annoyed they are offering Sport for 2 months. If we wanted sport we would have the sport package already, plus for those with the sport package already they gain nothing. https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2018/07/4.gif

Bit like offering Ham and Jarlsberg to a vegetarian who ordered Cheddar and Onion.

Can UKTV legally demand payment for free to air channels?

Yes. But they will wrap the deal up to include on-demand and all the channels. I think there's just three pay-channels aren't there so they wouldn't be a strong negotiating hand but if they gave VM the free to air channels.

Has the quality improved since i last used that a couple of weeks ago, or do you get better quality if you subscribe?

I tried looking around their site and googling it but couldn't find anything.
