Freeview LCN's 56 & 65: This service is currently not available.

[SunnysideUK]

I'm not getting any video on 2 channels for maybe a week now.
I have only a message: This service is currently not available. Its on:
LCN 56:That's TV (UK) &
LCN 65:That's TV 2

Its on both my Humax HDR-Fox T2 and my LG TV, so it looks like a Freeview problem.
I checked their status on https://www.freeview.co.uk/help/problems-watching#STATUS-CHECKER-1 and indicated no problems.

Any info on this please.

I cannot find the source on "Clean Feed".

Oh dear. I wonder whether this disease will spread to That's TV 3 – I'm currently enjoying their re-run of Upstairs Downstairs. Not something I would normally get interested in (I have never bothered with Downton), but from childhood nostalgia.

Viewers in the dark over loss of That's TV Freeview channels - RXTV

Mystery surrounds the unexpected disappearance of two Freeview channels from That's TV, which crashed off air this week.

Various online versions of newspapers also contain the same lack-of-information.

All OK on satellite ($ky, Freesat and FTA receivers), I believe. Also the LOcal TV versions are OK.

Some speculation of reasons on DigitalSpy forum. It may be significant that only the Arqiva-encoded/owned muxes are affected.

Local TV being Comux and Thats3 on the troublesome D3&4.
That's on satellite look to all be on an ITV/STV encoded transponder.

Scandalous how these organisations aren't accountable isn't it?
And what's the useless regulator doing? The usual nothing useful.
