Unhappy What happened to C5+24

A wonderful safety net I have used many times has silently vanished from my lineup on Ch 152 and been replaced by My5, a channel apparently showing random repeats. I haven't found a single reference to either here or elsewhere, and have no idea if it's also vanished from Freeview as I don't have it here. Of course I will now use catchup but it was a lot faster simply pressing a channel and watching something directly. When did it go, and what exactly is My5 as when I look on their website the name's used for their OD service rather than a channel with a schedule.

What a shame, a great idea withered on the vine. I wonder what made them do it?

I agree that it's a daft idea to name it the same as their VOD service, but I think changing it to what it has become (more like 4Seven) is a better idea.

Btw, it's no longer available anywhere (Freeview included).
