I am with jj20x on this. He states:
VM can't be expected to use cash from their own customers subscriptions to pay for content that is funded by advertising. UKTV don't get any cash from other platforms for the free channels, they have to pay for carriage, just as they should pay VM.
I can't disagree with that!

I think that to appease all involved, the FTA channels should be made available whilst this dispute is resolved one way or the other.
It would also benefit UKTV themselves as they will be losing advertising revenue.

LOL, i've just been banned for the official forum. Someone asked if there was a petition - i posted a link to the change.org one, and hey presto a it disappeared and a ban.
Me thinks they are a tad over sensitive at VM towers  It will have been a very hot few days for them in more ways than one ! |
Oh dear, it looks like they're going into denial and trying to silence customers in response to all the outrage that this has caused.
I'm afraid that if they had banned me I would be onto the CEO for a reinstatement and alology for inhibiting my right to free speech. If this wasn't forthcoming all services would be immediately cancelled and I would be making their behaviour known to anyone who cared to listen.
As a private forum they can usually ban whoever they like and for whatever reason, but should they really be annoying customers like this (particularly at this moment in time?)
They really don't have a clue about customer care and PR, as this is clearly showing.
Common sense will prevail after the damage being done becomes untenable, but the longer this goes on, the more damage will be caused to their brand.
I predict that heads will roll at senior level over this situation that has been caused and the arrogant way that it's being dealt with, particularly that of Bouchier. Malone won't be happy about this at all.
