Maybe they're testing the changes on Crystal Palace before rolling it out nationally? The deadline for restoring BBC Parliament is some time today.

BBC Parliament back on channel 81 last night from Sandy Heath. Direct observation. I am unable to confirm any other details, my box doesn't display resolutions.

Note: either BBC Parliament came back exactly at the time I tried or my box "got stuck" (Humax HDR Fox T2). I tuned in once, got the caption saying it wasn't available as during the Olympics, tuned away, tuned back and the video and audio of a debate in the NI assembly was on.

Al Jazeera Eng has changed LCN from 89 to 84. It would have had to get permission from Russia Today and COMMUNITY to leap over their allocations.

There is no sign of LCN83 Al Jazeera 6-8. It is possible that LCN84 can be used to select this channel if it is using the same stream as there is a vacancy from 5am to 8am on the existing Al Jazeera Eng stream. The EPG has not been changed yet.

Sorry if it has already been reported, but I've just noticed the "off the air" MHEGs of BBC Three and BBC Four have changed.
The no longer list the channel numbers for all BBC channels.

I would guess it's partly because of the 19th September moves.

On Winter Hill too.

Static picture saying "Extra Paralymics coverage will appear here from 30th August" with C4 and London Paralympics logos.

Possibly, but the CBeebies and CBBC ones were updated in a similar vein a few months ago, as I posted at the time. In any case, as it stands at present, no BBC channel numbers will be changing on 19th September thanks to Sky.

Edit: I apologise that this is bordering on discussion, which is not really allowed here, so please don't continue it!

In London Al Jazeera Eng has moved to LCN83 and Al Jazeera 6-8 has launched as a placeholder on LCN84.

edit at about 1800 LCN84 Al Jazeera 6-8 started showing a caption.

In other changes LCN306 Channel Zero has been removed but

193/194 are still there?

No, DMOL decided that they can put channels in the high 700s when the don't have a place to put them. Just another piece of the DMOL farce
