Temporary Rebrand - Correction to Service Name:

The only change noted is a correction to a typo in the service name of one of yesterday's rebrands.

Channel Launch:

ID 2330 HobbyMaker HD 

- Hide and Hide Reversal Flags Added

- Added to the NIT of customer facing and other remaining networks.

The channel should now be visible to all customers on the EPG at channel 754.

The short EPG Name is HM HD - perhaps, not the best way of introducing the channel to new viewers.

The Hide / Hide Reversal combination was historically used to hide HD channels from devices which couldn't display MPEG-4 services. More recently the flag combination has progressively been removed from many services and not used for new services, so the reversion to using the combination is unusual.

Temporary Rebrands:

2 movie channels with promotional rebrands.
