IQTV is pathetic, why are Full House customers subsidising the £3.49 a month charge for 6 year old repeats of The Weakest Link? This type of thing is available on the linear channels anyway.

Paramount, Freesports, Your TV, Horse & Country are FTA and/or mostly repeats and the first three should have been added as a matter of course from when they first opened.

Vice has been a ratings disaster, with Sky withdrawing funding after the first year and their HD channel closing down. Their SD channel is now run by using their online content.

Love Nature is a channel that I've enjoyed on occasion.

To say that the UKTV dispute is supposed to be about lack of VOD, which of the new channels offer VOD at all?

The only future new channels i'm aware of are two more +1 channels.
Maybe you should wait and see.

I know that Paramount are not showing much original material, but the repeats they are showing are nowhere near as well worn, and many of their programmes I personally have not seen. A good selection of films, as well.

I think that Love Nature and the Paramount Network alone offer better value - I am more likely to watch them than Eden and all of the UKTV channels put together.

Quality over quantity.
