Virgin1+1 sold off their overnight hours to Game Network BV for a Babestation channel.

It has always started at 9am - same as satellite/cable - although it runs later

Although there may have been a caption before 9am and that may have gone

Not true - have often watched Milkshake before 9am on Fiver at weekends.

OK - but FIVER now starts at 9am on all platforms - so it has not been reduced on DTT alone.

But the hours are still less on DTT.

Maybe its being cleared for Teleshopping.

Just announced by the presenter Rocks & Co now simulcast for the first time on STV from 00.30. I've lost count of the number of channels they broadcast on during a 24 hour period.

Hooray! It looks like they've got everything right this time round. When I turned on my GOODMANS GDB5 this morning, naturally there were some channels not working such as Channel 4, Five and Sky News. I re-scanned and everything came back and no radio stations were duplicated this time either.

No it's still working. Perhaps you meant to say that the news and information content has ceased.

LCN100 is still operational, as is the text service on Freeview ITV1, ITV2, C4, E4, More 4 and C4+1. The main Teletext bitrate is still 950kbps.

The only change I can see is that one Teletext Extra stream has reduced its bitrate from 100kbps to 50kbps.

Also Community Channel has changed its logo.

No. Entirely different multiplexes. Teletext is on D3&4 (mux 2), this is Arq B (mux D)

Further information about where the slot is coming from and discussion on the channel continues @ http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1142418 (see post 16)
