The EPG data for Channel 99 is correct.

The channel closes down on Sky at a later date so probably forgot to switch it off.

Change: BT 1 and BT 2 now relabelled Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2. Label and Sky Sports 1/2 EPG visible on all DTT receivers (including Freeview-only receivers) , although some receivers may need rescanning to get the correct names up.
The channels are available to watch via BT Vision and from tomorrow, Top Up TV. See the sub-forums for more on content and pricing.

They include their own channels and the Teachers TV lozenge was removed a few weeks ago. It's still listed in the Freeview EPG though.

Unfortunately incorrect in London and most likely elsewhere.

Still being received here. Maybe it's going early tomorrow.

Apologies all, there is no trace of LCN300 4TV here in the SI but one of my boxes is detecting its presence. Weird!

I agree it's disappeared leaving several other unused services active like Teachers and SuperCasino.

Checking my EPG this morning Sky Sports News listings finish 4am on Tues 24 August. Does this mean we are getting one day of the new format (Mon 23 August) before they take it off Freeview?

Also do we know what the LCN for Sky3+1 will be.

Don't rely on the EPG entirely, it's not always accurate when it comes to channels coming and going.
No official news on the LCN for Sky3+1.
Watch this log!

LCN101 Ttext Holidays from yesterday renamed Teletext Hols. A retune may be necessary to change the service name depending on receiver.

I can confirm Sky3+1, but despite EPG data, no programming when I looked.

Sky 3+1 can only start once Sky Sports News has been removed on Monday.
