ASTRA/BSkyB Diffs:

5120 has been added to BSkyB Bouquet 13 - Test.

I've been able to see BSkyB EPG for GinxTV for a while but couldn't find the channel!

All I new about it was its EPGID:

[noname epgID = 1830] Thu 16 Jun 02:00 - 07:00 : Gaming TV 24/7
Ginx is the international home of video gaming on TV, bringing you a selection of gaming experiences and entertainment 24/7.
[-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-] epgID = 1830 eventID = 01AA SID = 0 txp = .00,

Unfortunately, it's not FTA:
