Crystal Palace (Greater London, England) Full Freeview transmit

Can anyone tell me if Channel 30 is still being transmitted from Crystal Palace? This week there has been a lot of work taking place on the transmitter. I have reset and updated my Freeview box several times, but C30 just does not seem to exist. I have done an "auto update" and after that tried a manual update for C30, but I get a message "No signal". All other channels are fine. My Freeview box is a Technika (Tesco) about 1.5-2 years old. Any views would be appreciated.

Channel 30 is back now! :-) Not sure if it had anything to do with the engineering update above or just because I did yet another "cold" reset (Power off/on at the wall) on the freeview box. This seems to have worked several times before, but is probably not the healthiest thing for the electronics. Thanks again.

I am in Bermondsey, clear Line Of Sight with the Crystal Palace tower. I have a "Technika" STB which has been happily upgrading itself and now, since Friday Night/Suturday Morning (16/17 March 2012) when it did its last "Guide update", it tells me no new channels have been added. That is all I get... no guide, or list of channels.
I tried auto channel updates and it does run through the channels, some take longer than others, but the end result again is, "No channels have been added, check your antena"
When I do a manual channel update, it only gives me the option to enter channel numbers between 22 and 69. When I do this it tells me the signal strength and quality of some channels are good, but when I try to add the channel it tells me that the channel is not found.
I was hoping to find many similar comments on this board - maybe a failed firmware/os/crypto update? - but it seems this problem is vey much localised to me! :-) Yet, if anyone can give me advice/guidance, I would appreciate it. Or maybe it is just the annual replacement of the technika.
Thanks for your time.
