STe: Quote: "BBC4 HD has disappeared from COM8"
That is not possible. All services on a multiplex will be present if any are present.
You need to explain exactly what you mean.
And the Make and Model of your device is?
You do know BBC FOUR HD is only on at night and CBeebies HD replaces it during the day?
A non-standard device may need to scan when BBC FOUR HD is running to find it.
Daytime CBeebies HD:

Richard Sutton: I dimly remembered this:
"when I do a manual scan on mux 29, all three devices only show one TV channel on mux 29 which is ITV"
Which Freeview channels does the Ridge Hill transmitter broadcast?
Now with Com78 National we see this odd D3&4:
D3&4
ONID.TSID = 233A.201D
(
LCN SID TYPE SERVICE NAME
--- 204C 01 ITV
)
with only ITV on it!

Perhaps even stranger, there is full EIT for ITV3 on this multiplex even though ITV3 isn't in the SDT.
Here's the EITpf:

Chris Gasgoine: I believe com4 is SDN and com6 is ARQ B.
If you click on the "digitaluk trade" link below Bob Higham's post, you will find that SDN is on UHF 32 and ARQ B is on UHF 33.
The 14 Mar 18 Retune event and future Retune events as well as Reception changes appropriate to his postcode will be found there.
You can enter your own postcode near the top of the page.

David: The appearance of the Com78 National network on com7 and com8, around 15/01/2018, is a significant change.
The EIT-schedule on Com78 National has an overall cycle time of 900 seconds and carries full 8-day schedule for 1196 services, in what appears to be all mainland multiplexes - everything but NI and CI.
The EIT-present/following (now/next) cycles in 8 seconds for all 1196 services.
Whatever the reason for the behaviour of the Digital Stream, it would seem there is no fault in the broadcast data since other devices are coping.
