Possibly one of the weirdest changes ever
SID 34112 on the local mux changed from carrying
RealityXtra to carrying
HorrorXtra
SID 14456 on COM4/SDN changed from carrying
HorrorXtra to carrying
RealityXtra
Meanwhile the LCN and CLM channel numbers were different for a while until things caught up and the EPG details were mirrored for each channel. RealityXtra has increased coverage and some viewers will have lost HorrorXtra if they aren't in a local mux coverage area.
The Al Arabiya channel closing on 273 is the VisionTV stand alone version (the newer Synapse TV version of Al Arabiya continues on channel 275). Channels 272 & 273 have been promising new services coming soon for quite a while, with nothing actually showing up. They have possibly exceeded the amount of time allowed to stay on the EPG without carrying a service. 272 remains under its old name Asharq News (again replaced by a Synapse TV service on 274). Still promising a new service coming soon but also launching into an old Superman cartoon. Very odd but it probably allows them to hang onto the EPG slot for a while longer.
