jb38: Surely D3&4 UHF25 carries the same services, on the same LCNs, as D3&4 UHF29. If both are scanned in, wouldn't the missing channels appear in the 800s because of LCN collision?

Richard Sutton: After the factory reset, carry out a manual scan of UHF29 alone and tell us what services are present. A signal strength/quality report would be useful.

Richard Sutton: It seems pretty clear from that, and your first message, that ITV1 is the only service to be found on the UHF29.multiplex.
I did search for info on this, but found no indication that the multiplex is anything other than a normal D3&4. I would need a sample of the transport stream to know exactly what is happening here. This is what's so annoying about DTT - lack of access and information. On satellite, everyone sees every part of the network.

Two more Channel 5 regions drop off the BSkyB box.
There is now just one Channel 5 (SID = 7701) left on both Freesat and BSkyB.
Those UKTV services change transponder.
Drama, Really and YESTERDAY are no longer scrambled though the encryption flag is still set

Unusual for a test to have a name that isn't a number, CON121-5, at present a mere entry in the SDT, is a new HD service on one of only two transponders that are configured as: 29500 8/9 DVB-S2 0.35* QPSK (according to the ASTRA NIT), the change of FEC 3/4 -> 8/9 having occurred recently.

I think the lost streams with PID = 23xx must have been Freesat streams with non-standard PIDs.
