I don't regard it as "churlish" for those who asked for a discount, why should they pay the same price for a lesser product?

I posted in this thread about how I was all but called a liar when I said that I would be losing programmes that I was in the middle of recording and how I was falsely told that all UKTV programming from the missing channels were available for free via the UKTV VOD app. It took me four times to get it to sink in that the programming from the pay channels was not available on this app
I think the point that was being made was that it was not appropriate to ask for compensation simply because channels went missing if it didn't inconvenience you. Therefore, he didn't make a claim.

I didn't ask for compensation either simply because I very rarely find anything on these channels worth watching (either because of the nature of the content or because I saw it originally on the Beeb). So I wasn't inconvenienced sither.

I dare say you will always get some who will jump on the bandwagon when even one obscure channel they never watch goes missing, helping to put up prices for the rest of us.
