Lifetime will close down in the UK, Ireland and Malta on February 28, we can confirm.

They have been forced by sheer economics to admit that the future is the internet, not DTT broadcasting. I am sure that all forward looking forum members will see the wisdom of that assessment. I, however, could not possibly comment.
To the best of my knowledge, Lifetime isn't going onto the internet or on-demand, it's going full stop. It looks to have been more a victim of a Comcast-owned Sky not wanting to duplicate Comcast's Hayu service. (Lifetime UK being co-owned by Sky and Hearst)
