As soon as you turn your box to standby & then on again the EPG will refresh. You will then have the new channels in the old UKTV slots.

Looks like they'll be taking the channels off air as programmes running after midnight finish and not bang on midnight.

Possibly haven't changed channel post midnight from Drama and still got it, says channel 18 when I press info. Maybe I just won't change channel ;)

The channels got moved into hidden positions from around 625 onwards.

Interesting that VM haven't removed them completely. Perhaps VM are hopeful that they may return.

Well, the UKTV channels have now disappeared. Funnily enough, the sky has not yet fallen in.

What does seem weird is I can still setup series link for only fools and horses after searching through home, link sets for Sunday on Gold!! Also strange is I can still view taskmaster in my recently deleted in my shows on Dave.

I thought they would have restricted all of this.

Maybe there is still hope.

Its not just the wrong sport its the wrong channel.

EIR Sports is the old Setanta sports. Looks like we are getting VM Ireland's feed by mistake.

Yes and I was looking forward to that Swedish speedway (not).
Never mind I can cheer myself with such classic programmes as Little House on the Prairie, or the Walton's on Paramount ! Or even Britains Top model, great quality replacement channels from VM ...:rolleyes:

Think they might have a few complaints/cancellations tomorrow....

The EPG is a frigging mess. Duplicate channels all over the shop. The total services thing now says 512 it's going up an up, they don't know what they're doing.

Just restarting see if that helps the duplicate channels thing, probably not.

The duplicates are deliberate to fill the vacant spaces. As for a organised EPG, I gave up on that one more than ten years ago now.

VM have got to keep the UKTV channels in hidden status, so that all people's recordings are still viewable. If/when the channels are permanently removed in three months time, then all recordings of UKTV content will get deleted.
