We have lift-off for BEST DIRECT and a fix for the BSkyB Frontrunner bludner:

So now we have "Front Runner 2" on Freesat but no "Frontrunner" - makes sense don't it?

Still no Freesat streams mapped to "Front Runner 2".

A Freesat transponder move for "Frontrunner" would have fixed it.

Instead, Freesat have compounded the blunder.
