I suspect the channels will come back as its in both parties interest, but it may be a few months. Expect a significant price rise to follow to make up for lost custom/discounts. Maybe all this has been manufactured as an excuse for that price rise ! Cynical moi
No trolling here, Mr K, I am trying to introduce some reason into the hysteria.

I really don't buy the assertion that VM is losing trouserfuls of money over this. Yes, there is some dissatisfaction and some customers will move on, but the majority will stay, and new subscribers will continue to come on board.

UKTV channels really aren't good on quality, they put out old and dated material in the main. If I subscribe to pay tv I expect more. As for price rises, they will come round every year, whichever platform you talk about, and the reason for those price rises will be speculated on ad nauseum.
