Chris.SE: There was nothing objectionable in the post that I am aware of.
As for "automated censor" I'm fairly certain it was there earlier.
The post was merely showing how the 5 USA +1 event cited above was technically delivered.
Perhaps someone thought that information should not be published.

js: Nothing quite like freedom of information, eh? Censor??? We don't need no stinking censor!

It's a real pain to have to redo this and I've had a few beers so not sure I've got it right but this is essentially what I posted.
I'm replacing < by [ and > by ] in case that was the trigger for the "moderation".
Here is an xml dump from the TransEdit TS Analyser of the afore-mentioned Extended Event, illustrating its structure:

well, it's still there. If it gets "moderated", that would be interesting. Meanwhile, it's bedtime for bonzo.

Chris.SE: I had it in a text file but deleted that after checking it was up on here. I remember copying the xml part of it off here and checking if worked in Internet Explorer - which it did. That it contained a valid xml file may have caused the moderation of it.
My intention was to show how the Items are sent and how the term "AlphaSortIndexEventName" is a transmitted field name, one which is hardly likely to appear on a consumer device.

Simon: Yes indeed, Windows. It used to be called "mouse driver" by some MSDOS users! But I find Linux is pretty much back to DOS - and damned awkward as far as drivers. You could dual boot or run a portable bootable W8 off USB.

Chris.SE: Would you care to elaborate? "COM8 ... it is not currently transmitting with a 167kHz offset"
It most certainly is from Winter Hill: C56-, 753.833MHz,

I hadn't noticed before that the Freesat EPG has Extended Event Descriptors for 5 USA.
Here is an example:
************
5 USA +1, Sun 29 Mar 02:55 - 03:50: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
A six-year-old boy disappears during a wild drug party thrown by his mother. With a child's life at stake, the case causes Benson to question her own role as a mother. (S18 Ep 8)[S]
(Contains strong language and drug use)
<extended_event_descriptor lang = eng>
EpisodeName = Chasing Theo
EpisodeNumber = 8
SeriesNumber = 18
AlphaSortIndexEventName = Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
TEXT:
Drama series about an NYPD unit specialising in sex-related crimes. A six-year-old boy disappears during a wild drug party thrown by his mother. With a child's life at stake, the case causes Benson to question her own role as a mother [S]
</extended_event_descriptor>
************
Does anyone see this stuff on their Freesat device?
I tried searching for "AlphaSortIndexEventName" and came up empty except for my own posts on here. It seems an unlikely term to use on a consumer device.
