Anyone know if Channel 5 have lost the rights as I don't see any highlights show this weekend?

Answering my own question but it's been moved to some random free to air channel:

Sadly no options available in HD though.

Seemingly it has gone to a TV channel called Quest.

Quest is the ‘free to air’ version of the Discovery Channel / Eurosport. They had Giro d’Italia highlights, which is how I know about the channel, and they show some other sports / highlights too.

Interesting to see Discovery entering the English football market.

“Kicking-off from the 2018-19 season, the four-year deal will see Quest provide 90 minutes of extensive match highlights of the English Championship, League One and League Two, hosted by Colin Murray, in primetime at 9pm every Saturday night. As a result, the channel announced a HD version would launch in July 2018. It launched on 21 July 2018 on Virgin Media channel 217 but was removed on 24 July 2018.”

I assume that's just because Virgin can't agree deals with anybody at the moment and have lost a load of channels?

Oh well, looks like I'll be sticking with healervision and iFollow this season.
