Has BBC News channel 231 been removed from BT listings?

@Nobby19 Seems fine to me in the BT TV EPG (Ip mode).

If you are missing the channel in the EPG when using the box in aerial mode ,Are you missing any other BBC channels ?

Also worth checking that the channel has not inadvertently been set as a hidden channel in the EPG ?

@zulu17 @Nobby19

I believe even a hidden 231 would show up if you specifically typed in 231.

But this issue normally means that the Freeview channel allocations were changed, and the YouView box couldn’t quite follow them, so try retuning it.

Assuming you are using the box over a terrestrial aerial of course.

@Midnight_Voice I had forgotten about Youview past difficulties with simple EPG LCN changes so yes @Nobby19 a retune is advisable.

One temporary workaround is to watch BBC News via the BBC IPlayer on the box where there is a live stream.

I tried retune and also turning off antenna, this did not work so I went for a reset with the antenna turned off. It worked.

Thanks for your message.
