Freesat Diffs:
Freesat transponder moves for 'Create & Craft', 'Ideal World' and 'NOW 80s'.
These have yet to move on ASTRA/BSkyB. Freesat must move them before BSkyB does:

GIM or G-MAN has, it seems, been fixed, but the signal to noise ratio has dropped by about 10dB to 14dB.
My LG telly shows a signal of 8 percent and quality of 1 percent for GIM.
Even with such a poor signal, the LG managed to find seven services on GIM, which were initially put on 801 to 807.
A few seconds later, they were found on their correct LCNs.
The video off it is of course so corrupted as to be unwatchable.
091 'Now 80s' and 092 'Now XMAS' have been added to GIM, which now looks like this:
GIM
ONID.TSID = 233A.7401
762 MHz, uhf 57, 8 MHz, 16-QAM, 8k, 3/4, 1/32
Target Regions = (GBR.England.North West)U(GBR.Isle of Man)

There's those two COM7s again.

I have just seen a report on DS that com7 and com8 are off air.
I can confirm that is the case. No sign at all of them in the spectrum completely gone.
No complaints or reports on here though.

GIM or G-MAN has reverted to the sorry state I reported last week.
So, again, we have no SI tables and a PAT that keeps changing.
This mess is in addition to the massive drop in signal strength, confirmed by Anthony and others.
| link to this comment |
Following yesterdays loss of com7 and com8 and the lack of any official report, I decided to log the signals more thoroughly.
The program I'm using is CrazyScan2: CrazyScan / Wiki / Info
CrazyScan2 was set to loop mode with auto-export, where it scans the RF spectrum and saves the result as a numbered png.
The number is the pass-number.
The time of the first pass was 07 December 2017, 23:42:22.
com7 disappeared at pass 43 - 08 December 2017, 00:00:36
com8 disappeared at pass 47 - 08 December 2017, 00:02:26
com7 reappeared at pass 142 - 08 December 2017, 00:46:48
com8 reappeared at pass 150 - 08 December 2017, 00:50:26
The time of the last pass, #350 was 08 December 2017, 02:18:50.
I have made a video with a frame rate of two passes per second, which can be downloaded here:

GIM or G-MAN is running with empty or non-existent SI tables again.
The following xml table dumps were produced by the TransEdit TS Analyzer.
An empty NIT means no LCNs.
The NIT:
<Winter_Hill_762>
<NIT PID="0x0010" Name="Actual Network">
<NetworkID HValue="0x302A"/>
</NIT>
</Winter_Hill_762>
An empty SDT means no service names.
The SDT (no SDT Actual TS is present):
<Winter_Hill_762>
<SDT PID="0x0011" Name="Other TS">
<OriginalNetworkID HValue="0x233A">
<TransportStreamID HValue="0x1048"/>
</OriginalNetworkID>
</SDT>
</Winter_Hill_762>
There's more, and this has been going on for a year or so:
The PAT is changing every few seconds.
The PAT is essentially just a list of SIDs followed by PMT PIDs.
The PAT Version Number is incremented at each change.
Here are three successive PATs, appearing within a minute or so of each other:
Version Number 31 = (FF and 00111110)/2
00 B0 21 74 01 FF 00 00
00 00 E0 10
76 81 EB 11
77 81 E3 09
77 41 E0 25
76 41 EC B8
76 01 EF 7D
7D 80 E0 E7 /CRC
Version Number 0 = (C1 and 00111110)/2
00 B0 1D 74 01 C1 00 00
00 00 E0 10
76 81 EB 11
77 81 E3 09
76 41 EC B8
76 01 EF 7D
54 0C 4F 2B /CRC
Version Number 1 = (C3 and 00111110)/2
00 B0 21 74 01 C3 00 00
00 00 E0 10
76 81 EB 11
77 81 E3 09
77 41 E0 25
76 41 EC B8
76 01 EF 7D
71 82 9A 65 /CRC
The first and third PATs are identical apart from their version numbers.
In the second PAT, there are only four Programs.
The entry "77 41 E0 25" is missing.
Here is the data for GIM, read off the BBC A multiplex:
GIM
ONID.TSID = 233A.7401
762 MHz, uhf 57, 8 MHz, 16-QAM, 8k, 3/4, 1/32
Target Regions = (GBR.England.North West)U(GBR.Isle of Man)
(
LCN SID TYPE SERVICE NAME
050 7781 01 mov4men+1
089 7641 01 Clubland TV
090 7601 01 TV Warehouse
209 7681 01 POP+1
210 7741 01 Tiny Pop+1
)
As can be seen, "77 41" is Tiny Pop+1 with "00 25" its PMT PID.
Unsurprisingly, my LG telly finds no services on scanning this multiplex.
