On Freesat, EIT Schedule for True Crime has been flagged as available, which indeed it is.

The first event for True Crime: Tue 22 Mar 06:00 - 06:30 : Cops

The final event for more>movies: Mon 21 Mar 23:05 - 01:00 : The Contractor

The final event for more>movies+1: Mon 21 Mar 22:00 - 00:05 : Street Fighter

No sign so far of True Crime +1 being readied for launch, being still without EIT and Freesat streams.


On BSkyB, 'News 18 India' was Renamed to 'News18'

Freesat Changes:

Instead of blundering my way through an attempt at a summary, I'll leave it to the mostly self-explanatory, untouched by human hand, diffs.

Three new ITV HD services were added to the private test regions. I've added the potentially incorrect region-names given in the ASTRA EIT data.
