The Freesat EPG has been stopped due to contractual dispute, the basic eit epg is still there (now & next) and the video transmission is still there exactly as it was, still unencrypted.

It means that official Freesat boxes can’t see the HD channel any more but ordinary satellite boxes and software like MythTV only loes the EPG, if you get EPG from schedules direct or some other xmltv source you wouldn’t know anything has changed.
