Sky has changed how it is transmitting some (unencrypted) Freeview
DVB-S channels. Prime, Four plus 1 and The Edge TV have moved to a
new transponder. The old channels will still be transmitting for a
while (mid June I think), but have already lost their channel IDs in
favour of the new ones. You should rescan now to get the new
channels. Prime SD has lost its regional versions and is only now
broadcast on one channel. See here:

Here is the new scan data for the transponder they have moved to:

TV;SkyNZ:1769:HC34:S0.0W:22500:1015+8185:1115=eng:0:0:1511:169:3:0

So Prime is now serviceid 1530, Four Plus 1 is 1510 and The Edge TV is
1511.

The old channels have been renamed to Test<x>, but retain the old
serviceids so will still work until they are deleted.

This setup is a little better than the old one as all three channels
are now on one transponder, so now there are only three transponders
for Freeview DVB-S. That means only three DVB-S tuners are now needed
in the worst case.
