Some "permanent" rebrands / relaunched services from That's Media.

 

 

Note:

EXTREME CHANNEL took advantage of a change of LCN to also change SID, bringing it back within the correct range for SDN. 

SDN is encroaching into the territory of BBC B SID numbers (16384-20479) although there is obviously some flexibility in this area.

Service closure:

LCN 61 GREAT! real  (L-Mux SID 33984).

- This service ceased broadcasting during the day in preparation for the re-launch of Tiny Pop.

An MHEG slate states "This service has now closed."

On newer TVs, hbbTV has no HTML slate but the service carries a red button prompt for GREAT! player.

Service Update:

LCN 79 Seen On TV (Arqiva B (COM6) - SID 27232)

- The elementary streams (Video PID 2951 & inactive Audio PID 2952) have now been removed and replaced with HbbTV / MHEG slates. 

The slate carries the message: This service has now ceased.

New Service:

LCN		Service Name	Multiplex	SID
