Just noticed this tonight while poking around on the satellite receiver too. The signal strength isn't that flash though, even with a tweaked LNB skew. Unfortunately, my Freeview receivers put it up at channel 1006, just more numbers to try and remember.

Thanks. Tuned with NextPVR and found two copies of the channel. Am in BOP.

'Gets a technical update' is pleasantly vague for Rush etc.
