Missing Channels

[TimK2015]

Looks like the elves have been tinkering again at Freesat (or wherever it gets done) as a block of channels has gone missing on my Foxsat-HDR

145 - Really
146 - Quest Red
147 - DMAX
148 - Food Network
149 - HGTV
150 - Quest
151 - Quest +1
152 - Quest Red +1
153 - DMAX +1
154 - Food Network +1

I have restored the channels by removing them from the channel list and then performing a Freesat tune as per previous occasions where channels went AWOL.

I presume this is due to encoding changes again.

Thanks for the head up.

Strangely (at least some of) those channels are duplicated, on different Tps, and still MP2 while others are MP4 according to scans taken on https://www.digitalbitrate.com/dtv.php?live=69&mux=11954&liste=2&lang=en

Similar happened yesterday with Ch5 and all related channels. No signal. They've moved to DVB-S2.

Channel 5 Moves to DVB-S2 on UK Satellite Platform

Channel 5 has switched its UK satellite transmission to DVB-S2. Older Sky SD receivers will no longer receive the channels. HD receivers update automatically.

Article says:

Sky HD, Sky Q, and Freesat HD receivers should update automatically. If Channel 5 or related services such as 5 USA disappear, simply rebooting the receiver should force it to reload the latest channel information.

But neither was the case. A Freesat retune and all good again.
