The EPG slot has been removed by Sky because all the feed is broadcasting is black level and tone.

VM (who source their feed from the same satellite signal as Sky) have put up a slate explaining that the channel is experiencing 'technical difficulties'.

Unfortunately, it's widely speculated that this channel has financial problems and is looking for new funding. The explanation for temporarily removing it from Sky & VM is to 'make the channel more widely available as possible'!?

I suspect if it survives it may go online only, or be broadcast via IPTV or VOD to cut costs.

Their online feed went offline too, but was back on last time I checked:

Some people have been casting this to their TV as an alternative way to carry on watching the channel for the time being.
