Any disputes with Sky wouldn't affect the full suite of channels, all FTA/FTV channels would be unaffected.
There was also nothing to stop Discovery from retaliating by keeping their pay channels on Sky by making them FTA or FTV or making them a standalone subscription service (possibly making CA based upon subscription to their online service). As a closed platform this wouldnt be possible on VM, which is why I think that it was a bad move for VM to allow the increased possibility of channel cessation to be drawn to the attention of the public.
Their is absolutely no possibility that ITV could be removed from satellite by Sky.

Yes there is, various posts on social media to VM and on personal accounts say that people no longer trust VM to continue to carry channels.
As a result of the way that the spats between UKTV & ITV were made public, some people are blaming VM for the loss of Vintage TV.
