Since last Sunday, posts like this have been appearing on the internet:
It is widely speculated that the satellite itself is to blame as it has passed it's expected lifespan and problems have arisen in the past.
Apparently, the move isn't due to start until 1 June 2015:
There have also been suggestions that say that 28A is used by the poorer channels as the capacity is cheaper due to the fact that the satellite has had technical issues previously and that the channels would be vacated if needed as a back up for the Astra satellite customers who pay more in case of any problems.
Which does beg the question, what in earth is a premium channel like ESPN HD doing on 28A?
Surely BT could afford the extra cost!
