Indian channels are popular with the Indian community so I don't think they would have taken it off permanently, as they would lose quite allot of money.

I would just wait and see what happens in the next few days as they will most likely come back on I reckon.

Since KV's ' phoenix ' moment many ' pay for ' permanent contract ' channels such as Asian / MUTV / LFC have disappeared. The Asian channels cost twixt £5 & £11pm. The colours channel frequently asked about is exclusive to S k y and not available on Vir&in anyway.

I entirely understand why Mancunians / Scousers [ £6 to £23pm ] want their channel back and why Asians want their language channel, but maybe the KV team are ' pruning ' permanent minority costs from their margins.

Um, the Asian channels seem to be working here? They were also working on 14/06/11 I believe

Best advice if they where working before leave your box alone, they will return, all the scanning and factory defaulting the boxes is not going to get them back quicker, i would only rescan if i lost all channels or reboot the router in this instance.

My Mum has told me that the Asian channels have been working all day but apparently at 10pm all the Asian channels (bar Star Plus) stop working until around 6am. This has been happening for a week, and then they start working again
