Some time ago I was told that VM were "mindful to pull" the channels from the EPG. Whilst this wasn't actually said, I got the impression that they hadn't paid their fees to VM (not sure if I posted it on here or not).
From what I can gather from various sources, it appears that it did indeed go off air due to a power cut- a deliberate one from their electricity supplier for continued non payment of an outstanding bill. AFAIK the slates being shown are being generated from a back up server and automatically kick in in the event of an unplanned outage.
In the case of VM, I would expect them to be removed very soon and replaced by a VM "channel no longer available" slate. I hope Spiderplant hasn't already gone away for easter

That music on Bid is good.
I am singing along with it.
#Come on Virgin,

#Come on Virgin turn that music off. |
It's very repetitive isn't it! Must be on a short loop
