Did they remove the channels that had replaced the UKTV channels?

No. They're still there

Just a thought - are those people who (temporarily) lost a few channels and claimed discounts now volunteering to pay extra because they've now got more channels than they originally had

No to me it’s classed as compensation for loss of services

Anybody know best way to try and see episodes 2 and 3 of Harrow on Alibi? Managed to see episode 1 before the loss of UKTV and now its back can record/see episode 4 onwards, so have lost 2 episodes we would like to see? Checked on demand and catchup a few days ago and couldn't find anything so are there any alternatives?

UKTV/Virgin are saying on Twitter they are sorting out catch up over the coming days for missed shows. I want to watch this as well but didn’t even see the first one so hope they put that on as well.

Thanks, I'll see what comes up!

Catch up and On Demand content will have to come from UKTV. VM can't conjure it up themselves.

RobboEdin · 12-08-2018, 17:47

Set up bookmarks for episodes 2 and 3 and they will appear in My Shows when they become available in Catch Up / On Demand.

So I do have an eye for the best deal, but I would not claim compensation if I did not suffer a loss. That is just plain dishonest. That's my opinion.

1) l think that retentions can see your viewing choice or are they very good at guess what channels you use.
2) l also think they can see your monthly bill(s) in my case .in my case £100's a month .Number of accounts paid from one source.

When I called I simply asked what the situation was with regard to cancelling.Given that I had just signed a new contract .With a great discount. Without saying anything else £10 per month extra discount for 18 months was offered . Are you saying l should offer to increase my payment ?

Well what do you think !

Bit perplexed by those moaning about people trying to get the best deal and calling them 'dishonest'. Will they call VM dishonest if the next impending price is higher than inflation, as they have been in the last few years ?!

Think it's more to do with folks being peeved they didn't take the opportunity to get a good deal when VM were at a weak point. Don't worry VM will be clawing it back soon !

OK, but as long as you have a DVR STBm no worries. Which is what you get with everyone for the last 15 years so I would think that wouldn't be so much of an issue now. Good old technology.

For a couple of weeks of so, and which are compensated by any loss being compensated through on demand (from Monday).

So much fuss over so little.

By stealth of course as a little bit here and a little bit there all adds up in the end Mr K.
