Which are then promptly repeated on the free UKTV channels, according to Virgin.

But the free UKTV channels were on Virgin before all this erupted, Richard. I don't think that is what will drive people away from VM. It's the loss of the pay tv UKTV channels that will do that. But I have to say that there is very little on these channels that causes me to be concerned about their departure. Admittedly, I had set up 'Harrow' to record, but I am confident that this programme will pop up elsewhere before long!
