But will it now? The space allocated for UHD services has now been removed; I think they might have had to use this space for the extra channels launched to replace the UKTV channels. Apparently, to enable facilitation of access to recordings made prior to their removal, the UKTV channels are currently taking up the same capacity as they were when they were on the customer facing EPG.
Having said that, it appears that VM Ireland customers have today lost access to their UKTV recordings, despite also being given a three month grace period like us.
This, coupled with the loss of Quest HD and further Premier Sports problems, means it hasn't been a good week for VM TV.

Now got full house TV, 350mb broadband, talk weekends, two TiVo V6 all for £72 per month with a £20 credit off my next bill. Hardly watched the movie channels and didn't watch the sport channels as the sport I like are on Eurosport and BT sport.
The girl l spoke to was very helpful and she was saying they are still negotiating with UKTV and hope to be able to make an announcement within 7 days regarding the channels

I think they were just stringing you a line to try to retain your custom. UKTV have today made it clear on twitter that further negotiations are not currently taking place.
