ASTRA/BSkyB Diffs:
Tristar was renamed 54175 - so effectively deleted - showing 'high street tv' in thinno-vision = 16/9 video flagged as 4/3.
CGTN is in thinno-vision everywhere. People who see CGTN in the correct aspect-ratio will be watching 4/3 material in fatto-vision.
Noor TV and Glory TV were taken off BSkyB.
Noor TV showing black video, Glory TV is still running:
