Sadly, I have to concur with what omnidirectional had to say about this in another thread:

When Vintage TV first dropped off air a couple of weeks ago I was prepared to believe it was a technical fault, as they claimed. But with the removal from Freesat, Freeview, and now going off air on Sky/Virgin it looks like the channel is in trouble.

Initial enquires to Sky and Vintage TV were met with people being told that they knew nothing about the channel being unavailable. Now Vintage TV are saying that, in order to make the channel as widely available as possible, the channel has been temporarily removed from Sky & VM. |
Slate now amended to say that 'Vintage TV is currently unavailable due to technical difficulties experienced by the broadcaster.'

Well, at least they aren't misleading people about what to expect. It also indicates that VM really do believe that the relationship is over if they have gone to the trouble of amending this.
