A little while ago several suppliers were shut down and I understand this is an ongoing process ie not a ''one-off''. Brian at Computer SOS in Chloraka will be able to give a demo of a system he's been using since January 2018, should you not get uktv media back.

We have been out this evening and I have just put the TV on and we use uktv from Holitec... The channels I have tried are all OK BBC1 BBC2 ITV Quest..
But something has changed... now when I change channels I get the small blue screen for a few seconds but also a loading bar..
I have been experiencing troubles with the programs freezing and repeating recently. i cannot say at the moment if that is any better
Have you tried unplugging and rebooting the system??

I have just checked loads of channels and sports in UHD and all seems to be working fine.

There was a DNS update earlier today, the MAG box required a re-boot to update the setings.

Morning.
This looks like as Digby says just an update nothing to do with on going legal action, as he says just do a normal reboot and restart, I do not use this particular system but I'm sure the action posted by Digby is probably the answer.
UKTV web page is running this morning.

When I switched on this morning there was a message on screen.. I don't recollect exactly what it said, but in effect it was telling me access was denied.
However there were three choices on screen and one of them required you to press the red button, and 'reload' I pressed the Red F1 button on the remote, and all is absolutely fine

Just for clarity... all my references are to the uktv provided by Holitec.

Excellent news and pleased to read everything is back to normal. I didn't read elsewhere of anyone having problems and good that Digby also commented. As an aside I find my computer tends to do go a bit off kilter when some Windows 10 updates are installed.
UPDATE: WEDNESDAY @ 1715
Reading about a few other people who are affected on one FB group. Hopefully soon sorted.

An occasional re-set of the CYTA modem (or is it a router?) often cures some ills.
Speaking of which we had a CYTA engineer come to install a new modem the other day. He first wanted to establish what devices we had, so he could ensure they were compatible with this new, hi-tech modem. He asked if we had a TV box; his expectation being that we would have one. I said yes. He asked if he could see it. He than asked me to turn it on. He then asked me to go into Settings. It was clear he simply wanted to check the device was compatible...it was; and after that he couldn't have cared less that we had a Mag box, or who we were subscribed to. We're now getting 20Mbps download and .81 upload, with a ping of 23.
For years we have had an annoying glitch with our Mag box, whereby it would switch off completely after 5 hours (to the minute) use and this was entirely unconnected with the TV sleep settings. It would also take 2 or 3 false starts before we could get the Mag box operational each time we swtiched it on. SInce the new modem was installed both glitches have completely disappreared, so it was the previous modem which was at fault.
Last week my wife phoned cyta to say she was having a problem getting internet. the operator said I see you have one appliance plugged in right now (kodi box) and you are downloading a film now...... crap they are good, I wonder if they knew what we were having for lunch?

The web server failed, it is just I have not fixed it yet - any emails still arrive ok though as they use another server.
All the channels and portal in use should be updated now.
