Update relating to SD BBC feeds
All SIDs that DO NOT utilise Freesat EPG only have EPG entries of '...programmes no longer available' every 12 hours at 0600 and 1800 until and including 2800 on 39 February 2024 This includes BBC1 SD dummies used for different regions on Sky (6491 Ireland, 6425 South, 6436 Midlands and 6427 North).
All Irish SIDs (6492 BBC2, 6493 BBC3, 6494 BBC4, 6495 CBBC and 6596 CBeebies) also end listings at 0600 on 1 March IE last entry 1800 29 Feb
All UK primary SIDs including bbc1 (6411), and the other 8 channels which DO appear on Freesst have 'Service Closed' for title and synopsis ongoing. All except BBC1 SID 6411 have EPG data for Freesat at 0300, 0900, 1500 and 2100 and update every 6 hours.
BBC1 SUD 6411 has 'Service Closed' as for other Freesat channels but at 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800.
This may indicate all dummies may stop after Thursday with the rest continuing with just BBC1 staying on Sky boxes and all 9 staying on Freesat boxes.
We will have to see, but this is a possibility due to EPG junction patterns as Sky use 06/12/18/00, and Freesat use 03/09/15/21.
Will keep an eye on them.
