Mind, in the interests of fairness - I'm still not sure I agree with VM using the channel slots for duplicate channels. I would rather the slots are just killed off until such time as UKTV is restored or the slots are sold. Having duplicates there just kinda highlights the stupidity of the whole situation, for me.
Presumably, they only added the duplicate channels to highlight the fact that some replacements were available to compensate for the missing UKTV channels.

Some of them were good. Others, well they need to do better, and that's what I hope we will be seeing this autumn, either as new channels (in the conventional sense) or on demand.
