They will be on demand, particularly with the increased offering VM has negotiated, and they will be repeated anyway, ad nauseum, on UKTV's channels before being flogged to Netflix! We won't miss anything.

That's what the Chief Clown David Bouchier must be being told by his bosses !
They've ended up having to pay, pissed off customers, bad publicity and have had to give out loads of discounts/lost custom.... All for what ?? A bit more on demand and HD on channels that don't really need HD. A good months work for him which will see him mentioned in dispatches no doubt ! The forthcoming price rise might be bigger than it need to be because of his incompetence.

You do like to read your sensationalist tabloid headlines Mr K.

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
Maybe so, Mr K, but you seem to have done ok out of it, as have many other Virgin customers, I don't think it's all one sided as many on here seem to think.

Our own household accepted the replacement channels while UKTV was off air and although we watch some of UKTV's programming it was what it was and anybody with any reasoned rational knows that generally in life these things are never one sided.

If it's like the BBC and programmes are kept for a month that will be fine, but if it's only a week then the missed programmes will have been and gone.

But you've missed out on some excellent episodes of Juliet Bravo Den !
It was all very unnecessary and I do totally blame VM. They were the ones who created the situation by suddenly wanting to pay 50% less. Might try that with my next VM bill.....

None that I'm aware of.

And who says they wanted to pay 50% less? as that is talk and nothing more then that.

I was referring to the catch up part of VOD, but if the missed programmes have already been put onto general on demand, that will be even better

It was reported in the media, not just talked about on here. If it had of been wrong, i'm sure that VM would have said so during the war of words.

Being reported in the media does not mean it has any validity as has often proved the case.

Virgin's stance was not to pass comment unlike UKTV..

Re: Virgin Media & UKTV+ITV Channels
Not forgetting of course that it was UKTV who opened the carriage discussions with a demand for an increase and a refusal to negotiate. They offered a 'take it or leave it' deal and Virgin left it.

Don't we get catch up tv for the UKTV channels?
I want to watch the classic eastenders episodes i missed out on when it launched 10 days ago. Nick Cotton and Dirty Den are sensational and I missed out on the first few episodes in 1985.
I wish i was being sarcastic. I thought we had catch up tv for uktv before
