Looks like Sky is moving some of the existing channels from 12455H to 12530H - they have the same service ID as the existing channels.

That transponder is almost all FTA TV channels now.

Since the change to KoreaSat 6, there are no DVB-S multiplexes any more. 12530H is DVB-S2, as are the Freeview satellite multiplexes.

Fair enough. DVB-S2 consolidation. I've confirmed the channels are valid on the new transponder. I'm wondering if Sky is planning on dropping the Kordia Transponder to reduce costs
