1. . Al Jazeera has begun testing on Astra 2 in HD a month after starting in HD on astra 1. It is not known exactly when the service will appear on Sky#s EPG but the service will be free to air just like on other platforms.
2. . Local TV channel Bay TV Liverpool went into administration recently and is reportedly to be taken over by Made TV. The name change and ownership is subject to Ofcom approval but if and when approved, the replacement service “Made In Liverpool” will also appear on Sky.
3. The BBC has noe returned its configuration to normal following the Olympics. BBC4 was temporarily on the main PSB1 mux on Freeview, and on satellite, CBeebies moved to a temporary frequency, which was switched off last week. Channel 4 will start its Paralympic coverage from 1300-0100 (not 1800-1900 which is on More 4). All additional “red Button” coverage of the Paralympics will be online this time. .

1. Details about Phase 4 of BBC National DAB network – to be completed in 2016
2. . Nation Broadcasting have now launched Dragon Radio across all Wales local multiplexes and online. The service can be found in place of Nation Gold. There will be local breakfast and drive shows on weekdays, but initial monitoring of the station seem to indicate that the music playlist log is identical to that of the recently launched Thames Radio in London, also operated by Nation Broadcasting.
3. .DAB reception in Humberside has been increased with the addition of new transmitters, adding 220000 people to the official coverage area. In addition to that, North West Wales mux has also increased its coverage.
4. RTE Extends Longwve 252 Service but German broadcasters are closing medium wave transmitters . There will also be NO stations from Germany on Longwave or mediumwave after 31 December 2015.

Yes they have and the TP has now been switched off.
This has to be it now, surely?
'BON TV' has now been removed from Sky EPG 571.

20825 was incorrectly labelled "QVC Christmas" for one minute at 1603, before being relabelled "20825" again!
Strange!
Still showing ITV London programming though for now. The Border England feed on 11.067V is still showing ITV Central West although it was testing with Border programming on at least one evening recently before reverting to Central.
Given the record of ARISE News I'm 100% confident they'll return
'Storm' (Sky EPG 939) is now showing a blank screen and with EPG data daying "Programmes no longer available".

Wasn't there one of the African channels that kept being removed and re-added frequently a while back though, from memory think Arise has a long way to go before beating their record!

Note: ROI viewers - if you set a recording on the existing CBBC HD or CBeebies HD you may soon have to reset your recordings. If you don't already have these on your EPG you may well be getting them, which may be good news for some people
