There is a rumour of a switch over on 29 April to HPol but I wouldn't
count on it at this stage.

You can get TV One, TV 2 and Maori in VPol off Sky's feeds at the moment,
but as Hadley said you won't get 3+4 in May.

What is really odd are the ID differences between the DVB EIT epg
information for 3+4 against the MHEG EPG data.

The EIT stream has
 TV3 =3D 1920
 C3  =3D 1921

Now the MHEG EPG stream has
 TV3 =3D 1901
 C4  =3D 1903

Very odd. Wonder if they might be deciding to initially launch just using
a single transponder rather than splitting TV3/C4 onto the second
transponder.
