Re: VM loses UKTV channels
The only main issue is losing the HD versions, all TV's have Freeview inbuilt, just watch it on that?

l find the History channel a bit heavy metal trashy compared to the Yesterday channel.

Freeview doesn't cover all the UKTV channels and not everyone has an aerial. Cable customers may have discarded theirs long ago.
Plus if you're paying for Tivo you want it to record and have all your programmes in one place.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
Interesting reading over on the main forums this morning!
Loads of unhappy customers leaving (or threatening to!) and 2 or 3 VM 'cheerleaders' defending as much as they can ... are they paid these people?
For what it's worth I don't watch any of these channels so this doesn't bother me too much, but the chance of cancelling early might tempt me ... then I can get away from this awful SHUB3 for good!

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
Calm down everyone, they’ll be back… History is repeating itself, this has happened previously on both Sky and Virgin media, it’s just the big boys flexing their muscles!
UKTV will want their channels on Virgin Media and Virgin Media want the channels, they’ll reach an agreement.

Pure serenity here this morning as the birds are singing and there is a nice smell from the kitchen as l hope you are sitting comfortably as it could take a fair while before they come to a agreement IMO.

Re: VM loses UKTV channels
I think the deafening silence from VM is quite telling. Also the C+P replies to people from VM are really annoying people.

Online chat rarely seems to be on these days though you can only cancel over the phone anyway

Or if you have a connected TV, get TV Player. The solutions are there.
