Service Removals: 

TSID 16 SID 1651 - ID 2084  Eurosport 1HD  -  Placeholder - End of Service - Not on Stream

TSID 19 SID 1955 - ID 2085  Eurosport 2HD  -  Placeholder - End of Service - Not on Stream

Transport streams and service IDs are for traditional cable networks.

Placeholders removed from the SDT & NIT.

 

Temporary Rebrands:

- 4 movie channels with promotional rebrands.

New Service - Pre-launch Configuration:

ID 2364 GreyHorse  -  Red Button Service

- Pre-launch EPG slot allocation changed from channel 1890 to channel 70. Channel numbers are subject to change.

- SDT root flags changed to show that this service is running and encrypted. - Encryption added.

- Added to the NIT of remaining networks.

Now active on all networks but changed from a 4 digit internal channel number to a 2 digit internal channel number. Neither of which are visible on the EPG of customer facing equipment.

The hide flag combination hasn't changed so the service is still technically hidden from the EPG. Double digit channel numbers aren't meant to show on the EPG, so this is normal. 

 

Now confirmed as a red button service, linked to Sky Sports Racing. 

Temporary Rebrands:

 - 2 movie channels reverting to their usual names following promotional rebrands. 

Temporary Rebrands:

- 1 movie channel with a promotional rebrand.

Temporary Rebrands:

- 1 movie channel with a promotional rebrand.

Removal of Subscription Channel Codes (deprecated):

- Channel code section removed for 412 services.

- 342 channel codes removed.

- 70 override codes removed.

Note that although 342 plus 70 equals 412 it doesn't mean that services had either a channel code or an override code. Some services had both and some services had channel codes of zero.

As the codes are deprecated, it isn't worth listing the removals. 

Codes have not (yet) been removed from 5 services (Ideal World, CBBC HD, BTSportHD Hidden, BBC RB 1 HD & VEVO '90s & '00s).

#  90042  Hidden 42  -  Inactive TS Marker

#  90389  Dummy 38901  -  Inactive TS Marker - Internal TS - SDT Only

- All subscription pack codes and any override codes have been removed from all of the above

The first section lists end of service / placeholder services & inactive pop-up services. The removal of subscription pack codes from these services will make any recordings unplayable. It is odd to only remove the subscription codes and may be more appropriate to remove these services entirely if they are no longer needed as placeholders.

 

The second section lists internal services which wouldn't be expected to have subscription pack codes linked to them.  

90042 & 90389 are internal reference numbers on the database as these services have ID numbers of zero.

 

IDs 2084 & 2085 are now automatically described as "Not on Stream". This is the normal description for when no Stream subscription code is present. This has been triggered by the subscription pack code removals.

Subscription Pack Code Added:

ID  2007  BBC TWO HD  -  England & Scotland - VM England

- Pack code added

A subscription pack code has been added for an unmarketed subscription package.

Temporary Rebrands:

- 1 movie channel with a promotional rebrand.

- 1 movie channel reverting to its usual name following a promotional rebrand.
