UKTV Style rebranded as 'Home' a couple of weeks ago, but the service name on LCN26 remained unchanged. Until now. It's now 'Home'.

Are you saying that this thread is only for changes on Freeview as narrowly defined, or on DTT in the UK, which, however erroneously, is almost universally referred to as 'Freeview'?

If a change is something that anyone with a Freeview box or Freeview enabled TV (IDTV) can see or choose to see, such as a change in LCN or Channel Name, then it's worth entering on the Freeview Changelog with a note that the service is a Pay TV service. This could benefit the lay viewer with Freeview who might be wondering about a certain change. If DTT became more fragmented with Pay TV services, then we might need to look at this question again.

Perhaps the establishment of a Top Up TV Changelog in the Top Up TV forum might help the situation somewhat?

Virgin1+1 is now showing on LCN35 from Bristol Ilchester Crescent. The service name is 'Virgin1+1'.

Virgin1 on LCN20 is not currently broadcasting, even though the MHEG screen on LCN35 says that Virgin1 is now 24/24.

Quest has reverted to a static MHEG (text) screen, in place of a static video stream.
Netplay TV (LCN49) has been re-activated, launching with shopping from "Rocks&Co". Source: observation.

More, plus a discussion on this subject in the thread http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...994341&page=16.

It never went anywhere - hence the inclusion of RT (Russia Today) in the EPG list in post 115...

Some boxes seem to have difficulty dealing with this channel - Top Up TV users can read more and discuss in the Russia Today thread over in the Top Up TV forum, and Freeviewers can discuss the matter in the Russia Today thread in this forum. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1011902

New LCN107 Gay Rabbit added to Mux 2.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...d.php?t=772031

And just to be more accurate, LCN49 name changed from NETPLAY TV to Rocks & Co. No new EPG listings yet; still showing Gems TV etc.

LCN44 GEMSTV1 placeholder removed.
