Red button channels gone

    In the last few days my Ariva 120 combo box has gone from having the red button channels to just showing screens that say BBC Red Button. I went to try to tune in the frequency again, using the values in the sticky for BBC red button streams.

    I did this by pressing Menu -> Installation -> TP List -> Add -> and then inputting the frequency, symbol rate and polarity but am alerted that TP already exists. There was no option to input the F.E.C.

    Can anyone advise?

    The BBC announced on their blog that this would happen. It was repeated in the SatCure blog. My understanding is that the remaining streams are on a single Astra-1N transponder (soon to be moved to 2F).

    So does this basically mean that for viewers with a FTA device that the red button channels will really not work anymore? I don't fully understand the repercussions.

    The four red button channels (5 if you count index page) are discontinued in favour of 1 stream on a different transponder.
    10773 H 22000 listed as 6390 or 6391

    Same TP as BBC4/Cbeebies

    This transponder has been switched off it seems. No signal received after a scan this morning. It was broadcasting the last Red Button stream up to a couple of days ago that is now on 10773H 22.0 5/6.

    I had the above channel tuned into my triax combo box but when i went to watch the confederations cup last night there was a blank screen! Could somebody repost to confirm the transponder frequencies

    Thanks
