    UPDATE

    11.426 V SR 27500 FEC 5/6 DVB-S QPSK

    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.

    No idea, what gives that impression?

    In terms of Sky's EPG, I would assume the SD version will move to the 690's.

    Skys EPG needs a reshuffle!

    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

    The Insight UHD promo that keeps getting listed is a part of several different UHD promos from different channels on 'Astra UHD'.

    Just so annoying that my skyQ wont tune to this.

    On a plus note pressing the 'sky' button now takes us to recordings

    'SKY' button on SkyQ has always gone to the recordings - it is a way of getting straight to the TV Guide which is missing.

    This is now showing ID Finland. On an interesting note how come we are able to view Discovery Finland & Disc ID Finland??

    Do they not broadcast on different satellites for Finland??

    Sorry lads this is now showing Disc ID Sweden not finland

    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.

    Yes but chances are the European versions of Discovery all playout from London (for now...)

    However; in recent days, I've been able to watch a live stream of Sky SportsNewsHQ HD using the following parameters:

    10.876 gHZ
    V
    23.000
    2/3
    DVB-S2
    8PSK

    Channel ID 2222 - this is no longer broadcasting (just saying no satellite signal)

    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...
