I wouldn;t have though it was anything to do with Sky unless it's in the channels contract with sky.. The channels are basically in the same group of sats, the only difference is that a channel on sky will be encrypted and on a transponder rented by sky from Astra.. For a channel to be truely freesat they would have to drop the encryption (or move transponders) and just put the EPG details on the freesat EPG transponder (it uses a single feed for all channels EPG which might be the issue you mention)
