Further information: The EPG information for Rocks & Co may be incorrect, the channel still goes to an MHEG caption at 11pm and the caption still lists the hours as 1pm to 11pm. So, according to this information, 13 streams are active between 1pm and 10pm.

It still appears to be called Pick TV on the EPG, so I'm not sure this counts as a Freeview change, unlike The Zone, which actually changed to The Store.

The new HD mux from Crystal Palace was switched on today on UHF channel 33, containing LCN 108 Al Jazeera Eng HD, showing a promo loop.

As Scripps are 50% co-owners of UKTV, could it be possible for Food Network and Travel Channel to take positions 25 and 26 on the Freeview EPG next month?

The Store is now only broadcasting between 6pm & 1am, presumably allowing ITV 3+1 to use the remaining hours.

As anticipated, Sky Text (LCN 206) has now closed and the red button function on Pick, Challenge and Sky News has been disabled.

On LCN 206 the following MHEG message is displayed, white writing, black background:

On Screen Message:

The Sky Text service is no longer available.

As of 09:35 this morning, GOLD, Home and Top Up TV Anytime 1, 3, 5 and 6 have been removed. My LG TV alerted a change to request for a retune, and after an auto retune these services have been removed. They have not been moved to LCN 791+, so a removal from the NIT listing?

Marketplace still running; it'll be interesting if BT Sport Preview starts at 11:00 this morning.

That has been a brief removal (perhaps by accident), because the channels have been re-added again, at first not by retune and then did a full auto retune - but as also noted by another poster, the MHEG message has been removed from GOLD and Home.

All practice for tomorrow perhaps?

Meanwhile, also on the SDN mux, LCN 181 ADULT Playboy TV Chat, the MHEG coming soon message has been removed and the EPG listing is as of follows:

00:00 - 21:00 Playboy TV Chat
21:00 - 00:00 Back at midnight

What is going on?

As have G.O.L.D. and Home.
This leaves Ch 26 free for local TV in Scotland and Wales.
BT Sport Preview and Marketplace are at present still in the list.

BT Sport Preview appears to have ceased broadcasting, and been replaced with 24/7 Marketplace.
Also, Rocks & Co appears to now be starting at 8am (probably been like that for ages but I don't think it has been reported)
