There is an error on LocalMux1:

The program_number 7481, for what are the mov4men+1 streams, should be the same as the service_id (= 7781) for mov4men+1 in the SDT, EIT, NIT etc.
Thus the nameless streams that are in fact the mov4men+1 streams will not have LCN or any other data linked to them.

I noticed in TransEdit that there are two instances of the Service Relocated Descriptor for mov4men+1:

<Winter_Hill_762>
<Descriptor HValue="0x7F" Name="Service Relocated">
<DescriptorLength Value="7"/>
<DescriptorTagExtension HValue="0x0B"/>
<OldOriginalNetworkID HValue="0x233A"/>
<OldTransportstreamID HValue="0xA000"/>
<OldServiceID HValue="0xA140" Name="mov4men+1"/>
</Descriptor>
</Winter_Hill_762>

and

<Winter_Hill_762>
<Descriptor HValue="0x7F" Name="Service Relocated">
<DescriptorLength Value="7"/>
<DescriptorTagExtension HValue="0x0B"/>
<OldOriginalNetworkID HValue="0x233A"/>
<OldTransportstreamID HValue="0xA001"/>
<OldServiceID HValue="0xA140"/>
</Descriptor>
</Winter_Hill_762>

The OldTransportstreamID values of 0xA000 and 0xA001 tell of at least two regions for 'com7'.

The region from Winter Hill is the A000 region:

Arqiva C, COM7
ONID.TSID = 233A.A000
plp_id = 00
T2_system_id = A02A
Target Regions = (GBR.England.North West)U(GBR.Isle of Man)

Similarly, in the EIT, there are two instances of the 'Also in HD' linkage descriptor:

North West LocalMux1 is now running nicely.

mov4men+1 video is showing a static caption "Will return at 10PM"

The EPG has changed since yesterday with mov4men+1 running daily from 10pm to 10am, Tiny Pop+1 10am to 10pm.

jb38: Maybe because four of the five Channel 5 regions were removed?

Doesn't the 'Reset your PIN' OTV app work?

jb38: Well I didn't know you had tried it. You should have told us already!

To be clear: You said "the entire "other channels" menu has seemingly now been PIN protected"?

The MENU? Sounds like a firmware bug.
