This is good news Ray do you now when the Lcn for channel 43,44 will be removed ?
Not always...
Pretty professional outfit, aren't they?

Arqiva are, yes
Try your scan again - I'm seeing LCN43 and LCN44 from Ilchester Crescent (and LCN26 still has the service name UKTV Style and not 'Home' ).

I do not receive 501 from the Crystal Palace transmitter (it's not on the EPG, and direct entry of channel 501 doesn't work either).
I do have this one though:
45 Lottery Xtra
49 - Netplay TV. Mux A (SDN) No longer transmitting.
