Did Virgin customers get a reduced price for the TV services whilst these channels were unavailable?

Then no doubt you'll get 2 months grace, then come the new year, Virgin will send out letters saying they have to increase the prices 'due to inflationary reasons' when in reality, SKY have pulled a fast one over Sir Richard, and you, the paying punter, will have to take the hit.
Virgin 1 is on Sky yes? Whats all that about then? It's like Sky1 but 3 years ago. Nothing but 'StarTrek The Next Generation' and 'Deep Space 9' and other stuff Sky showed millions of times on Sky1.

The EPEE channel - that does not have much on it and is never updated.
The Fruit Forums channel - but you have to be a signed member to receive any programmes.
Desert Island Fruits Channel - however I think this got shut down Brand/Ross stylee a few months ago.
The Line Up Channel - mainly repeats.
The JAFC channel - a new addition today
The Mecca Channel - home of all the antiques programmes.
The Topgun Channel - again mainly repeats with new editors.
