Yes, that's true. Another problem is that if someone gets wind that eg VM is negotiating with Viacom for the missing channels (purely an example) and it comes to nothing, posters are accused of making it up or something similar.
By their very nature, not all negotiations result in a satisfactory outcome. Would people prefer it if this information was shared or not- that is the question!!

How many of the VO coded channels are present? Have you tried tuning to them and putting on the subtitles to try and suss out what the channels are?

I remember it being FTA on satellite, but in 2004 they wanted a cut of the Sky subs and Sky refused. The owners then removed the channel from the Sky EPG, Sky relented and the channel returned a few months later in the Family Pack.
IIRC, it later went FTA again before being removed in the summer of 2010.
I suspect that Telewest may have removed this channel in 2004 or 2010 after losing the satellite feed.
The Hotbird satellite at 13E still carried it FTA, but VM equipment might not have been able to pick it up.
Anyone interested in seeing what this channel has to offer can take a peek here:
