The Wales region was duplicated from region 43 in the "DTH Wales" bouquet onto region 32 in the "DTH Other" bouquet, some years ago.
Region 43 on the "DTH Wales" bouquet is no longer used or kept up to date.
The current difference status of these regions is as follows:

Pretty strange, ironic, stupid, ridiculous - that the "BSkyB Bouquet 3 - DTH Wales" doesn't have an active Welsh region anymore!
Perhaps steve P will tell us which LCN BBC R Cymru 2 is on, on his box?

No EPG for LCN 101 in the North East or North West D3&4 multiplexes.
As everyone knows, the freeview EPG is carried on every multiplex.
I wrote a program that reads this data and outputs an xmltv file, which is fed to a viewer program, allowing me to see what's on telly.
I was testing some new subroutines using now/next (because it's fast).
Now I had previously incorporated a subroutine to look for event overruns and output a list, if found.
This is what was output using the Bilsdale satellite-feed service information:

There are no names or LCNs for these services as they no longer exist.
Exactly the same result was obtained from the North West D3&4, but with the addition of an event off the GIM local multiplex:

Looking at the full EPG schedule off these D3&4 multiplexes, the now non-existent services have full eight-day EPG, frozen in time, from the day of their removals.
There is a full 8 days for BBC ONE HD starting Wed 26 Apr, but nothing for BBC ONE NWstHD or BBC ONE NE&CHD.
This was verified on my LG TV by tuning to ITV1 and powering off.
After powering back on, the TV Guide for BBC ONE NWstHD remained blank.

Tony:
This is the same fault in the EPG data - Slashless CRIDs- that brought down SONY DVD recorders in 2013.
The current culprit is GREAT! tv +1 - off the GIM multiplex - Winter Hill UHF Channel 27.
If you can avoid tuning that multiplex in, you may be ok.
This channel is also on Freesat with the same faulty data.
The equivalent data off GREAT! Tv does not have any error..
