I think that's exactly what he means. In which case, I'm also a media journalist. I also have had technology work published, so I'm probably a technology journalist too. Must add it to my LinkedIn.

but at the same time it does not pay the bills this is why I am actively seeking this, getting paid for reviews that is

I will try again on Friday to see if I can do a Paid Review, watch this psace as they say
I'm not trying to get at you, but if you want to ever be paid for your work "reviewing" items, then writing reviews on sites like that is not going to get you anywhere. Really, you should start your own site, try and promote it and write on it daily. Try to get a following that way and see if you can get somewhere.

Apologies to all for taking the thread OT.

Yes, but on what Channel Number, I am guessing Channel Number 181 as ITV3+ is on Channel Number 180

Yes, only the programme you are currently watching has the new EPG Data, you have to re-add ITV4+ to get the EPG Data though

Very likely I'd say.

There's no chance it'll be added to 181. These numbers are the most likely, 228, 291, 292, 293 or 295.

I haven't had to re-add it, I've had 'ITV4+1' saved in my "other channels" since it was removed, and am getting the EPG now/next data on it as normal.

I didn't have to re add ITV4+1 to see the EPG data. Also not only is the current programme data showing but also the next.

Only on Sky HD type boxes though except for the Amstrad DRX780 boxes, as I have one and it is only showing the current programme,
I think only the 1TB box that has the Transparent EPG has Now and Next Data

EPG number 166 is a possibility too. Canis Media tweeted that the closing date for offers for 166 was 5pm on Wed 2nd May......

(although if ITV was the winning bidder, ITV would likely move 'ITV1 HD' or 'ITV2 +1' to 166 and put 'ITV4 +1' on a lower number).

UPDATE

Sky Movies Box Office 32 has moved from 11.914 H to 12.305 H. Also, SBO channels usually have blank service labels. However, a new label marked "Sky Box Office" has also appeared on 12.305 H, as this is required for data transmission, and is a new mux for Sky Movies Box Office so a data stream channel needed to be added

Also, the mux on 12.523 H is off air. No signal at all on this frequency in Horizontal polarisation.

This appears to be for Reality Hub - currently on 12.607 H. Will probably be a transponder move. EPG data has appeared on this label.

UPDATE

52220, 52280 and one other on 11.307 H (I think that is what they were labelled) have been removed.
