[QUOTE="RichardCoulter, post: 1003188, member: 387551"] Short term it could affect VM for technical reasons and long term it may make the channels whilst financially unviable: [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/could-vm-also-lose-some-or-all-discovery-channels.170713/#post-1003178"]Just Sharing This - Could VM also lose some or all Discovery channels?[/URL] I don't think that Eurosport HD will be affected on Virgin Media; the free Sky Sports promotion is a Sky initiative to try and drive up subscriptions. In typical VM fashion the free Sky Sports 6 week promotion has been cocked up. Selected viewers were supposed to receive an email and free Sky Sports for 6 weeks without any requirement to cancel at the end of the free period. What's happened in reality is that some people have received the email, but not the channels and some the channels, but not the email advising them of this! It has been reported that doing the following can sometimes bring up the free Sky Sports promotion: Press Home on your remote Select Help & Settings Select Help Select TV Care from the top bar Select Missing channels Select Refresh my channel list to check for missing channels, and to get your TiVo box to automatically update. Well, there have been some foreign Discovery feeds being broadcast off the EPG. I was wondering if these would be broadcast after 1 Feb to keep the Discovery EPG slots alive, but I've now been told that these are carrying Home & Health +2 & Discovery She'd +1 or something, so perhaps these will be shown instead??
