The EPG channel order has been purposefully moving away from having +1s next to their primary channel for a while now.
Both the Discovery-owned channels and the Sky/Comcast channels have purposefully reordered their channels so that the highest +1s are below the lowest of their primary channels in their relevant categories. Only the HD channels are alongside their primary channels, in most cases, for the Sky/Comcast lineup, or have went HD-only in Discovery's case.
This suggests they now see On-demand as more important, so they have moved previously lower primary services to more prominent positions in numbers previously occupied by that broadcaster's +1s.
If I was designing the EPG I'd have a toggle button for +1s, where you could hide them all if you wanted. That way they could all be next to their primary channel, or hidden away, and quickly switched between this change of view with a single button press.
Finally launching the Press Yellow shortcut, is simply an aid to finding the +1s going forward.
