It's getting a bit late for the extra Red Button channels on 12422H to be given over to the World Cup if the transponder was lit up a couple of weeks ago for that, so long before Wimbledon. The first highlights loop on RB1 airs in the early hours of Friday 15th, so one would have expected *at least* RB1 HD to be appearing on the EPGs well before now.
Odd, too, that the SD channels are still running the colour bars, whereas on all previous occasions when these additional channels have been put up the test footage known as "Windmills" has been used to stress test the kit.
Anyone know what the text overlay "SCO Apps South SPGA" on the colour bars means?

Access to E! on a Freesat receiver is not possible as it is encrypted as part of the Sky offering.

I don't really understand what you mean by where you'll find PBS America. You'll find it on channel 94 if it's being picked up by your receiver.
You'll need an HD compatible (DVB-T2) Freeview receiver. Although PBS America is an SD channel it is transmitted by way of a signal that permits more channels to be carried in the same space, but which is not decodable by SD-only kit (DVB-T).
The group of channels that PBS America is transmitted with has limited coverage. Enter your postcode and house name/number here to see whether you can get the channel in your area:

Hi,
No, unfortunately W is not on Freeview. It is only carried on pay tv platforms and subscription streaming services.

A deal has been struck, so W and the other UKTV channels will be returning to Virgin very shortly, if they haven't already reappeared.

Suggests channel 94 isn't on your set top box.
Although PBS America is an SD channel, it's broadcast in a format which is only decodeable by HD compatible receivers. If you have an SD-only box you won't be able to receive PBS A.
If you have an HD box, check you're in an area covered by a transmitter than carries PBS A and some other reduced-coverage channels such as Freesports and Forces TV. Find out here:

Sometimes the sites which track channel moves and changes are a few days behind as they're run by enthusiasts rather than the industry. I've not found any new tuning data yet, but in the meantime you can watch online:

They're useful links for up to date Freeview channel information, but Kathleen is asking about a satellite-only channel.

I'm trying to think why the BBC Red Button transponder has been lit up at this time. There's no Glasonbury this year, Wimbledon doesn't start until July, there's no live Open Golf on the BBC. What have I missed?
The full Red Button service is running on these channels already, by the way.
