Correction to a previous post:
Due to a bug in my BlindScan Differ, the wrong transponder, '11553 H 22000 5/6 QPSK DVB-S', was selected as being Lost.
This is correct:

Lamhe was renamed to &TV on 02-04-2015
Whether &TV is the same service as Lamhe under a different name, I could not say.

Whilst perusing the document, 'DVB BlueBook A038', referenced above, I noticed that elements of the 'CRC decoder model' have been obliterated.
The same is true of previous versions of the A038 document from www.dvb.org.
My intention in referencing A038 was to present the latest version of 'ETSI EN 300 468; Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems', which A038 claims to be.
This seems to be the latest available version of the ETSI document:

Hugh Everett: Have you tried a power cycle?
Put the receiver in standby, then unplug it at the mains. Leave the receiver unplugged for at least one minute before you connect it again to the mains.
Have you tried a Reset?
Service menu
Reset digital TV receiver
This allows you to reset the digital TV receiver. You will be asked to enter your PIN to reset the box. (The default PIN is 0000) This operation will replace all the currently tuned channels and will delete any timers set. The parental controls may also be lost.

A new service, which was added to the UHD Demo multiplex some time ago, is added to Freesat:
network_name = ASTRA, network_id = 2
12441.00 V 29500 3/4 DVB-S2 QPSK 0.25 28.2E
TSID = 2038 ONID = 2
TYPE SID ENC RST SERVICE NAME PROVIDER
31 7400 0 4 Astra Ultra HD Demo SES ASTRA
31 7401 0 4 Astra Ultra HD Demo SES ASTRA
Note: This is not the 'ASTRA' network with network_id = 0x20, which should properly have network_name = BSkyB.
The new service, with SID = 7401, uses the same streams as 7400 and appears to differ only in the existence of a second instance of a descriptor which TransEdit determines to be 'Descriptor = 0x38 - Transport Profile'.

'10832 H 23000 3/4 8PSK DVB-S2 0.25 Pilot on' is still valid.
Since 10832H has no video streams or PCR PIDs, it is not possible to calculate bitrates from a recorded sample of the TS.
Resorting to TransEdit:

*StreamTypes of ? are BSkyB Data found on all the TSs in the ASTRA NIT
Adding all PID bitrates gives the TS Bitrate = 50.082 Mbps
Theoretical bitrate for 23000, 3/4, 8PSK, Pilot on = 50.083 Mbit/s
The PAT, devoid of any PMTs, merely informs of the NIT PID.
