bang have consistently said its technical problems and i believe them until otherwise proved. yes bang have been fined by ofcom but no announcements about removing channels stop these conspiracy theories.
also all channels have a spell where they are really hot and pushing the boundaries and then followed by a spell of being quieter and seems bang are in the quieter.
Firstly Ofcom never give out bulletins until quite some time after the event and secondly OFcom do not give out bulletins concerning channels with non Ofcom UK licences , all ofcom can do is refer any complaints to the country that supplied the Licence , in Bangmedia's case Holland , if the country that granted the licence does not see anything wrong with what the channel is showing and Ofcom do think what is being shown is far to explicit then Ofcom can ask Sky/freeview to remove the channel from their EPG or block the broadcast being shown on freeview . The advantage of a over seas licence is the fact that Ofcom cannot give out any fines or state what beaches have been made concerning Ofcom's adult channel code of conduct because channels with say a Dutch licence have to adhere to the code of conduct supplied by the country that granted them the licence and not Ofcom .

Am I missing something ? I thought Bangmedia had already been fined..
The 2 channels that have been removed from the Sky (912 , 959) have in the last few weeks been "allegedly" granted a Dutch adult licence , the fines Bangmedia were given were when they still had the UK Ofcom licence , plus Sky Ch 902 still has the UK licence so is still subject to Ofcom fines and rulings
