Most of the new additions were either timed to launch at the same time as the withdrawal of the UKTV channels or launched specifically to try and counteract the removal.

Having said that, apart from channels being withheld from VM, if the UKTV channels return, we will have almost channel parity with Sky (excluding the ones of no interest to most people).

People mostly seem to want:

- The return of the UKTV channels.

- MTV Classics.

- Disney HD.

- Some of the football club channels.

- The missing music channels such as The Vault.

I too still find the +1 channels useful for recording clashes on occasion. They aren't going away anytime soon as it's a cheap way to increase advertising revenue.
