ITV2 and ITV3 couldn't appeal to more different demographics. They wouldn't risk sabotaging ITV3's ratings in my opinion. They used to show the sort of content found on ITVBe on ITV2 before ITVBe was launched, so reversing that would be the most obvious thing for ITV to do. ITVBe doesn't have as wide geographical signal coverage on Freeview, and since ITV own the multiplex it's on they'd make money reselling the vacated space to another channel.

With VM, ITV HD and ITV+1 don't seem to be affected in any way, other than the HD channel has the correct regional news. It is only Sky and Freesat that have lost the SD versions of ITV and ITV+1.
Was the temporary loss of channel 113, because VM had to source ITV HD from the new channel sources?
I don't know whether people might have lost any recordings from 113, but the planned programmes did disappear.
