Is Demand 5 still on BT Vision?

I thought i'd heard that channel 5 had taken Demand 5 off BT Vision, but I recently received a letter (dated August 2011) advertising that they have it

Yes - content from 5 has returned!

unfortunatley this sort of uncertainty has put me off bt vision for a while. in theory its good but with iplayer being removed then coming back, now demand 5, only part of the 4od library...I just feel its all a bit underdeveloped and inconsistant to take a risk on at this stage as its very expensive for what you get.
BT themselves dont seem to want to push the product too much and when I have spoken to them they dont really understand alot about what you do and dont get which doesnt fill me with confidence for a product thats now about 4 years old

For some reason it went from the TV channels - but has remained on the 'Replay' (Catch Up) section.
4OD is in both - with recently broadcast item in the Replay section and longer term in the TV channels.
Thus I would assume that Demand 5 only has the catch-up programmes - I watch little 5 - so haven't checked it through.

iPlayer has never been removed once it appeared on my V Box (even before they told me it would appear).

BTvision has consistently given more as time goes by - and is charging less.

very true.

although I read somewhere that BT plan to make ITV, 4OD, and demand 5 all act like an app on vision just like how iplayer is at the moment.

can't see it if youview is around the corner.

So, is it like VM having Demand 5 in Catch Up TV, but not in TV Choice?
