OK - I hadn't removed it - just marked it as invisible.   It's a 290e and I've just successfully recorded a few minutes of 'Never say never again' from the ITV HD multiplex at Crystal Palace.

Also, had a quick look at http://www.a516digital.com/ and I can't see any changes to ITV HD multiplexes listed there.  If it was me I'd still try a power cycle on the backend server, but if that doesn't work it's past my level of expertise.
