js: Thanks as ever for your list of . I can confirm that the 201-204 have now gone from the EPG. They did have about a week or so being on the EPG with no associated service.

: Not a lot happening Brian. There is that UKTV transport stream clone, but I expect you know all about that.

There used to be some interesting feeds on Eurobird (Eutelsat 28A) in the 12500-12750 MHz band.

This band, now cleared of BSkyB , is again being used for feeds.

There was a peculiar feed/ on 12572V 7500 5/6 QPSK DVB-S2 at 13:40 26/11/2015 consisting of four looping HEVC 1920x1080 streams.

The was pretty bad at the bitrates used:

max min avg service_name
02.983 01.501 02.840 H265-1
03.002 01.880 02.840 H265-2
02.983 01.981 02.840 Service 03
02.970 01.651 02.835 Service 04
02.052 00.250 00.733 Null Packets
00.400 00.200 00.321 All Other Streams
12.410 12.410 12.410 TS Bitrate

FTA BSkyB DIFFS:

Blissmas and another drop off the BSkyB box.

Blissmas is inactive, a mere entry in the SDT.

js: There has been speculation in other places that the SD version of UK TV are going to be FTA on , but it is also equally possible that UKTV are simply moving between service providers. They are rumoured to get good money from BSkyB for their channels being part of the packages. Also BBC Worldwide has a three-decade long policy that goes back to 1992's "Extending Choice" [1] to have a finger in BOTH the subscription AND advertising pie...

"The BBC should work with partners to develop thee and other options which offer extended choice to potential subscribers. This will build of the experience the BBC already has in supplying programmes to, and collaborating with, specialist and . "

I also here speculation about going on Freesat - again I think that Channel 5 is tied into the "Sky HD exclusive" contract that was signed around 16th December 2011, so perhaps it was only for 4 years?

It would make a lot of sense for Channel 5 HD to go FTA given it no longer has sales regions and would go at 105 in the Freesat EPG! But who handles the sales these days ... oh yeah [3]

[1] Popular misconceptions 2: looking back at "Extending Choice"

[2] Channel 5 HD on Freeview cancelled ... again
