MTV Classics - not on VM Channel 321 ?

Hi

read a thread on Digital Spy about a couple who were thinking of moving to VM from Sky but didn't want to lose MTV Classics

got me thinking as the old VH1 Classic - rebranded as MTV Classics - has been missing for about 2 years from VM line-up ( shame )

I did a lot of reseach on the Internet into Viacom and its ownership of MTV networks

frankly none of it makes any sense - if you go the the MTV Classics Website it says MTV Classics definitely broadcasts on channel 321 ? ?

it's even got the VM Logo there with Channel 321 marked on it as MTV Classics ?

yet it doesnt broadcast - the reason given at the time was to enable owners to show Comedy HD Channel - apparently 3 channels were pulled to enable this including MTV Classics

just don't understand - there must be loads of spare capacity on the VM spectrum - they are currently broadcasting an EXTRA 24 HD BBC Olympics channels and another 24 SD BBC Olympics channels ie an extra 48 channels ? ? ?

is there some dispute between Viacom and Sky ?

is there any way we can ask for MTV Classics to come back again
