Thanks SP, that makes sense as, IIRC, the only other channels on the old trsnsponder were the Sky Promo loop & a UHD channel. It looks like Sky are clearing it as they continue to try and rationalise their capacity.

https://www.forumbox.co.uk/forum/thr...020#post100020 that the feed to VM wouldn't matter, as it should be a fixed bit rate and that individual channel bit rates will depend on the weighting given to each channel in the stat-muxing algorithm.
