Whilst perusing the document, 'DVB BlueBook A038', referenced above, I noticed that elements of the 'CRC decoder model' have been obliterated.

The same is true of previous versions of the A038 document from www.dvb.org.

My intention in referencing A038 was to present the latest version of 'ETSI EN 300 468; Broadcasting (DVB); Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems', which A038 claims to be.

This seems to be the latest available version of the ETSI document:

Also available here: https://www.dvb.org/standards, via the same URL.

I have an ancient Tvonics MDR-240 box. It seems to be able to pick up only the following :
008 That's Manchester
082 True Christmas
125 POP

I live in Handforth, on the Cheshire/ border.

Is there something about this Avonics box that only allows local channels ?

Hugh Everett: Have you tried a cycle?

Put the in standby, then unplug it at the . Leave the receiver unplugged for at least one minute before you connect it again to the mains.

Have you tried a Reset?

A new service, which was added to the UHD Demo some time ago, is added to :

network_name = , network_id = 2

12441.00 V 29500 3/4 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 28.2E
TSID = 2038 ONID = 2
TYPE SID ENC RST SERVICE NAME PROVIDER
31 7400 0 4 Astra Ultra HD Demo SES ASTRA
31 7401 0 4 Astra Ultra HD Demo SES ASTRA

Note: This is not the 'ASTRA' with network_id = 0x20, which should properly have network_name = BSkyB.

The new service, with SID = 7401, uses the same streams as 7400 and appears to differ only in the existence of a second instance of a descriptor which TransEdit determines to be 'Descriptor = 0x38 - Transport Profile'.

What this amounts to:
'Freesat 4K' with SID 7400 remains on 998 in the HD Bouquets.
'Freesat 4K' with SID 7401 replaces 'Freesat 4K' with SID 7400 on 998 in the of the England G2 Bouquet.

The same streams are mapped to both 7400 and 7401:

There is an error on LocalMux1:

The program_number 7481, for what are the mov4men+1 streams, should be the same as the service_id (= 7781) for mov4men+1 in the SDT, EIT, NIT etc.
Thus the nameless streams that are in fact the mov4men+1 streams will not have LCN or any other data linked to them.

I noticed in TransEdit that there are two instances of the Service Relocated Descriptor for mov4men+1:

<Winter_Hill_762>
<Descriptor HValue="0x7F" Name="Service Relocated">
<DescriptorLength Value="7"/>
<DescriptorTagExtension HValue="0x0B"/>
<OldOriginalNetworkID HValue="0x233A"/>
<OldTransportstreamID HValue="0xA000"/>
<OldServiceID HValue="0xA140" Name="mov4men+1"/>
</Descriptor>
</Winter_Hill_762>

and

<Winter_Hill_762>
<Descriptor HValue="0x7F" Name="Service Relocated">
<DescriptorLength Value="7"/>
<DescriptorTagExtension HValue="0x0B"/>
<OldOriginalNetworkID HValue="0x233A"/>
<OldTransportstreamID HValue="0xA001"/>
<OldServiceID HValue="0xA140"/>
</Descriptor>
</Winter_Hill_762>

The OldTransportstreamID values of 0xA000 and 0xA001 tell of at least two regions for 'com7'.

The from is the A000 region:

Arqiva C, COM7
ONID.TSID = 233A.A000
plp_id = 00
T2_system_id = A02A
Target Regions = (GBR.England.North )U(GBR.Isle of Man)

Similarly, in the EIT, there are two instances of the 'Also in HD' linkage descriptor:
