Virgin Media customers are no longer able to watch UKTV channels via the cable television service as a result of a business dispute.
The broadcaster’s free-to-air channels including Dave, Drama, Home, Really and Yesterday, along with paid-for channels Gold, Alibi, Eden, Good Food and W were replaced on Sunday morning.
Subscribers are also no longer able to access UKTV on-demand services via their Virgin Media sets.
But if you are a Virgin Media customer and a fan of programmes shown on UKTV channels such as Taskmaster, Judge Romesh, Harrow and Red Dwarf, fear not, for there are other ways to watch.
As of today, UKTV channels are no longer available on @VirginMedia. We are hugely disappointed for the millions of customers that are losing out. We are still available on @SkyUK, @BT_UK, @FreeviewTV, @Freesat_TV, @TalkTalkTV and @NOWTV. Thank you all for your loyal support. pic.twitter.com/bm3DaV2MkA
