Not a good time then for Islam Channel English to apparently be broken, with a blank screen and Islam Channel Urdu to be displaying the Oops! technical difficulties slate.

Also the EPG Name of Star Bharat has changed from Bharat to StarBharat.

Brit Asia TV and Rishtey Cineplex have had a change of category from Entertainment to International, so should now be listed correctly in the International EPG option.

Erm.. yay! I'm quite sure this is just the sort of change everyone wanted.

Thanks, that explains it then. If they haven't changed the pack codes, but just suppressed them, it looks like it's a time limited thing. Wonder if it's anything connected to the changes that Sky have made for these sort of channels? Freeview periods have sometimes been known to last for months.

Do they normally just suppress the pack codes for Freeview periods? You'd think it would be easier to just switch off the encryption for a set period of time.

Btw I was told by sometime at VM today that there have been reports of people erroneously getting things like Sky Sports, but it only last about a day.
