52556 (for Discovery Shed +1) currently showing Discovery Channel Finland (!)
I'm on the original bundle so don't have theDiscovery Channels, but this is clearing on my box, seems to be FTV as it encrypts if I remove my viewing card.

It's not in FTV, I get a upgrade screen on my FSFS Card, comes in OK on my mothers card which is on the Variety Bundle.
Agreed. It is an abomination there is little logic in it and it is anything but user friendly, particularly with +1 and HD/SD channels with few having their epg slot in relation to their counterparts. Unfortunately owing to the system that is used with channel owners paying for their cherished slots it will never be any different. Things may improve slightly when the BBC get their arse into gear and put BBC 1 HD on 101, there is nothing to stop them doing that now, except they are waiting for their local BBC to go HD.>:(
There will be an opportunity to change now that SBO has closed releasing a swathe of channels in the 700 range. They could move the Religious channels into this range and start the Documentaries at 540 or 550
'SKY' button on SkyQ has always gone to the recordings - it is a way of getting straight to the TV Guide which is missing.
Ahh.. pressing one button and straight to TV Guide...how novel that would be :-) but no lots of one button pushes that just take us to picks, recordings, search, my q,,,,,none of which I really want to start with thankyou
52550 is now showing Discovery id Finland with epg info for what looks like a lifestyle channel.
This is clearing on my box but encrypts if I remove the card as per Discovery Finland (original bundle subscriber). EPG currently says Homes Under The Hammer.
I'm thinking the H&H +2 / Shed +1 thing is possibly linked to the recent move of Shed and H&H up to 161-162 in mainland UK, presumably a way of generating something to keep 241-2 in the family, though as with Pick +1 they'll need slots further down the grid for NI/ROI.
I'm still in the belief that eventually Discovery will use TLC +2 on Sky (and Quest +1 on Freeview) for a new leisure/lifestyle channel as sibling to Quest, and possibly the H&H +2 will ultimately become the timeshift of that channel - Discovery have used timeshift channels as placeholders to launch or replace channels before (DMAX +2, Discovery +1.5 for instance...) and it's now over three years since TLC went live, so some of its shows must now be coming up to their DTT window...

Skys EPG needs a reshuffle!
