1. . It has been announced that BBC4 and CBeebies will change capacity on Freeview after the Olympics. It is anticipated that this stream will move to COM8. BBC4 is temporarily on PSB3 during the games.
2. Tests have appeared for an expanded BBC Red Button service over the summer. The exact date has not yet been announced, but it looks as if the service will be the same as last year – at least for Wimbledon and Glastonbury – 5 additional SD streams and one HD stream. Tests are on 12422 H, currently configured as DVB-S2, which looks like an error. The BBC has not yet announced their plans for the summer in terms of distribution.
3. The BBC will once again provide comprehensive coverage of Wimbledon this year. There will be a choice of 15 live streams online via Red Button+ and via connected devices. Satellite and cable linear reception will consist of 69 SD streams and an HD stream as last year. The BBC will also offer coverage of Glastonbury with 6 streams on Red Button+ plus some additional services on traditional platforms. .

BBC Olympics 1 (980) has for now been removed. Programmes are due to recommence at 1600
Is there a ROI SS5 feed for pubs? If so, has this been blocked to the UK too?
The pub one is the same as the main one so yes it will be blocked.
'DM Plus TV' has now been removed from Sky EPG 799.
Currently still broadcasting off the EPG on 11.464 H, 22.000, 5/6, DVB-S, QPSK.
The following channels
BBC1 HD
BBC2 HD
BBC1 NI HD
BBC4 (SD)
CBBC (SD)
CBeebies (SD)
are now using their new (temporary?) SIDs on the ROI EPG.
The change took place today around 1415 hrs.
There is no change yet for BBC1 London and BBC2 England.
http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Entertainment/Changes-to-BBC-channels-in-the-ROI/td-p/2503362
It refers to changes on 7 channels only
BBC One NI
BBC 2 NI
BBC One HD
BBC 2 HD
BBC 4
CBeebies
CBBC
There are 8 channels involved - BBC1 NI HD as well.
Even though that channel is not on the EPG in Ireland (BBC 1 NI swaps with the BBC1 England HD in Ireland)?
Not sure what the other one is there for then but I think all 8 have changed SID today.
The following sub-region numbers are used to determine which region you get. Given ITV now list virtually all their channels as "ITV", this list may help you.
