BBC Parliament and all the radio services were apparently off too, sounds like planned work at the uplink site to me.

Interesting! Maybe they've bought some EPG slots and are going to do some brokering, these SID's being mapped to other VPID/APID's such as ?TV.

Where OBE was it should read "So long for now, we will be back when the all the raffle tickets bring in some more money (if both of the winners don't want their prizes, that is)" They should be called "Back Soon TV".

OBE must have been removed at least 15 times now. It always comes back after a few days...

Do you want to buy a book of raffle tickets by any chance?
First prize is a book of raffle tickets and the second prize is one raffle ticket, the third prize is you get the job of selling raffle tickets.
