Margaret-ann Ellmers: Because the channel is run by people who have no regard for you the viewer.
They are engaging in a practice often described as LCN squatting.
To keep its channel number - LCN - a channel must transmit for at least two hours a day.
In this case:
56 5USA+1, Sun 08 Apr 02:00 - 04:00: Programmes start at 4am
While:
57 5Spike+1, Sun 08 Apr 02:00 - 03:00: Bellator 197: Budapest
57 5Spike+1, Sun 08 Apr 03:00 - 04:00: Thieves & Thugs: Caught On Camera
That being today's requisite two hours for 5Spike+1.

Linda henderson: LBC changed transponder on Tuesday 24 April.
If, as seems the case, your Freesat device has not updated by itself, you can re-scan manually.

I'm seeing some unusual character codes in the freeview EPG; specifically, an apostrophe ' with code 0x19 and a dash or minus sign - with code 0x13.
I don't have a freeview HD device so can anyone tell me if the characters inside the curly brackets in the following event descriptions are rendered properly?

Doug Brown: Your postcode maps to Freesat region 18, giving you BBC East (E) and ITV London.
I would expect the same on BSkyB.
On Freesat you could enter a postcode to give region 19 - BBC East (E) and ITV Anglia East.
