What you think?
Sky "rents" out an EPG space to a provider. That's TV have rented out channels 171, 188 and 191 in the UK. If That's TV expieriences a failure (e.g.) on That's TV 1 and colour bars are shown, Sky will automatically remove the channel, but to prevent another provider "snapping up" channel 171, That's TV 1 has a certain amount of time to return to channel 171 before it's released.
I would also assume that this is why channel 173 is currently not being used, as BBC have possesion of it (since BBC Three relaunched in January 2021 when BBC Three was broadcast on 173 in London before moving.).
