Sky Charging For Channels I Own?

Hello.
Last night I was flicking thourhg my favorites list, and I saw that Paramount 2 +1, Trouble and Trouble +1 all have notices on them stating you can get the channels for £1

But I used to get these channels with the package I had chosen.
In fact, one of the reasons I left Virgin was because they got rid of Trouble!

I had no warning of this, surely it's not right?
Anyone else get this? Did you have any warning that it would happen?

Depends what mixes you have I suppose - they do have the right to alter packages - but i would telephone them and ask them why you werent notified.

I'm confused? Trouble is and always has been on Virgin Media? Are you saying it went on a higher package?

I don't know, one day (back when I was with NTL/VM), I turned to Trouble and it said it was no longer available or something. I don't know if this was back when they were fighting Sky for the Sky One channel.

No Trouble has always been on VM, was never part of the sky issue as Trouble is owned by Virginmedia TV.

Maybe he means on Analogue? They possibly removed it as part of the gradual switch off of analogue?

Trouble is on the L pack TV on Digital.
