A tad puzzled 870 has been BABESTATION since 14/12/2009. What relevance has a specific programme on any channel to this thread ?

Grouty, this thread's not here to list schedule changes, since scheduling is not specific to Freesat, but relates to every 'carrier' a channel is broadcast on - Sky, Freesat, FTA, etc.

This thread's for addition or removal of channels, EPG number changes, frequency changes and other 'big' issues on the Freesat platform specifically.

Scheduling alterations would be better discussed by starting a new thread in the Broadcasting forum or TV shows/UK, etc.

All BBC channel labels amended to remove numerics and amend to upper/lowercase, ie: 'BBC One HD', 'BBC Two Eng' (from BBC 2 England). I won't list them all here but they are now basically identical to that of Sky's platform and their transmitted SID labels.

This change must have happened yesterday as the labels were still as was after Monday's changes.

BBC NEWS

BBC News and BBC News HD switched channel numbers as did all the BBC HD channels except BBC 1.

EPG is still a mess on Humax boxes, channel names abbreviated, but in List mode they appear in full, so why are they abbreviated for the table? Nonsensical! BBC News HD is called BBC News because the HD won't fit on the EPG, but the same size box in list mode has it in full, along with lots of other channel names in full. Who the hell decided that this was acceptable?!
