Not quite DIY, but does anyone know what happened to BBC Four on FreeSat? I'm pretty sure it was there last time I used satellite in the caravan last year.
Sat Beeb four?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Harry Bloomfield saying something like:
During the day (up to 7pm) it's CBBC, so you might not have got it, iyswim.

Drive back to where the caravan was parked
It's prolly still there
Yes, it shares the frequency/polarisation but remains in the EPG, at least it does on all the sat boxen I've played with.

I already knew that 3 and 4 were evenings only, but I did not seem able to receive it on an evening. I was not able to cross check against our system at home, because our home system's PSU is in need of some repair.
4 showed up in the EPG, but its channel was always blank when I tried it. A rescan just produced the one frequency.
Probably not related, but I've been having problems with our local BBC
2/3/4 multiplex during the switchover. They're currently on channel IDs 839 - 842. That's at Fenton transmitter.
Dunno if this helps, but I have one of those 5 quid including postage FreeView USB dongles, and scan during the day you get the kids stuff which then won't work as 3&4 in the evening. Scan in the evening, you get 3&4 - but then no kids stuff during the day. Probably something to do with the EPG.
