Well, I hope Virgin keep their nerve. The existing UKTV deal is most unsatisfactory, and it's only disputes such as these that ultimately resolve them.

I feel for people who love to watch these channels, although I would point out that the majority of their material consists of repeats. Personally, I won't miss them.

Virgin have provided replacement channels which do not rely on repeated material.

People used to complain about repeats, but now they are happy to pay to see them!

How perverse!
