The last publicly known carriage deal between VM and UKTV was in August 2018 (when the channels returned after being removed in July 2018), but as this may have been renewed this year (when multiple UKTV channels were made HD-only) it could be several years until the two companies negotiate again.

Some might think this isn't an issue but if I watch it then delete it when not knowing he wanted to watch it too there is no option to recover the show.
This is one of many issues and am going to fight to get my 2 tivos back if I can.

You do have the option to create profiles and a watchlist, which will enable you to track how much you've seen on one box and how much on the other, having set up your profiles. You can also delete a watchlist on one box without it affecting another.

Here is a latest I have been given by my sources on E! and Movies 24 on what may happen to them.
*My sources says Sky is still on "borderline" on what to do with Movies 24.
*My sources say E! is set to be revamped.
Information was right at time of posting.

Can't see our version of E! lasting much longer. After closing the channel in other countries at the end of this year, I think it will close rather than be revamped in the UK too.

Or they could just continue to license using minor subsidiary company names indefinitely, which seems to be convenient.

Hmmm! they can't have info slates on 200-203 informing of any changes and also move the actual channels into those slots. Unless the are moved in stages, in which case they could just change the info slates at each stage. Keep an eye on TS 514 on digitalbitrate.com, maybe the slates will show up on there before they go live.
