Haven't used a Sky box for a while, but you used to be able to identify which transponder you were using by selecting manual tuning from the menu, it showed the last TP in use.
I would also add that the missing channels are still being broadcast on 12148H, and haven't turned up on any other TP.
Anyway, I've a feeling that this may be more than a quick fix. It is being reported that the 79 ecm length is also in use on Racing UK, and that is still clearing. It might be a red herring.

just checked eurosport working sd on very old sd box at my local with sk* sub.
It's easy to swap out 4 of the effected channels if you follow the readme text in /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom
Swapping out 122, 128, 404 & 406 - for their working counter parts - 1181, 1096, 498 & 1187
"using the Example file in the custom directory"
To make your own custom LCN file just delete 'EXAMPLE_' from the file name
I added the following which worked fine for me.
But please bear in mind that:<configuration lcn="122" channelnumber="1181" description="Sky Living+1"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1181" channelnumber="122" description="Sky Living+1"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="128" channelnumber="1096" description="ComedyXtra"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1096" channelnumber="128" description="ComedyXtra"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="404" channelnumber="498" description="Sky Sports 4"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="498" channelnumber="404" description="Sky Sports 4"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="406" channelnumber="1187" description="Sky Sp NewsHQ"></configuration>
<configuration lcn="1187" channelnumber="406" description="Sky Sp NewsHQ"></configuration>
It all depends on how you have ABM configured im using Tyne Custom & have "include not indexed channels set to yes"
you really need to find you own working counterparts eg: in not indexed make a note of the numbers and change accordantly in "Example 282_sky_uk_CustomLCN.xml"
Then just run AutoBouquetsMaker Scanner
Sky Italia introduced a two way encryption awhile back which has proved to be effective on Cs it's nds+icam
As for ICAM, it has yet to be 'cracked' since its implementation on Sky Italia!
Although in the case of Sky UK, there are some old SD boxes which could be dumped and worked on I suppose.
Question is, will anyone bother to do it considering the quality is not HD and the channels themselves may be removed from transmission shortly after!
How can they implement a new encryption if that is the case with unsecured sd boxes for all to see?
Even old SD boxes support ICAM encryption (in addition to the usual NDS encryption), which appears to be the cause of the issue!
Coincidence that Sky Uk have a 3 day sale on?
Above is views of others...
It's been notable in the past, that when sky implement any changes, it usually happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So lets see what tomorrow brings.
Oscam ECM Size Increased from 596 to 1024 Globally.
Can someone who has a Sky UK local card please test this.
Its a simple build with just the Global ECM size increased. It has no patches or EMU's its just built to test the theory that Sky may have increased their ECM sizes. If it works a proper build can be done returning the Global size to 596 and defining NDS to 1024 permanently. Then adding patches and EMU. If it doesnt work then the increase in ECM size can be ruled out once and for all.
Unless a Server I'm connected too has this ( which they do not ) then they cannot send me the correct ECM. So it has to be tested with a Sky UK local.

I CAN TEST no problem ....BUT WILL That file be ok to use in my old Dm600s SD Box which reads the card ???
cheers @ ian !!
i went ahead and deleted my oscam binary file and loaded the binary that you posted @ ian
I RESTARTED Oscam after FTP'ing the oscam bin file
but still TCM , SBO PPV , Sky Sport News HQ Etc.. Fails to open anything on 12148 H
everything still apart from that one transponder still works .
if someone else wishes to test please do so just incase i may have done some mistake because im no Oscam expert i'm afraid :nopity:
29.03.17 16:25:33 00:30:13 0963:132B by SkyUK (92ms) 00:00:03 OK0963:132B by SkyUK (92ms)
but still no picture Sky Sport News HQ [ UK ] ...
on Sky sport news HQ [ Ireland ] PICTURE fine 12207 V 27500
29.03.17 16:25:33 00:31:14 0963:052D by SkyUK (115ms) 00:00:03 OK
1024 max length compile tested elsewhere with red card and not working, so all Barney's findings are correct.
I JUST Inserted card into my old Sky Ire SD Pace Reciever to test again and now all channels at 12148 H are working with card inserted in my very old Sky SD Box
but Entitlements changed today all now at 21-05-2017
i think this is due to sky sending those activation signals last night to my card ??
it must have needed an update in order to clear those dark channels on my Sky SD Box i suppose .
But this looks like worst news especially since it appears to be something more than ECM Length issue causing this dark screens on 12148 H
i fear with what ive read so far that tommorrow possibly will likely bring even further bad news
as stated its NOT a TP problem as working off cards in real boxes
its ticket 4600 on streamboard
so seems a new icam pairing code on sd boxes.
remember Easter time 2013? HD gone
It would be foolhardy to say the least for them to implement the ICAM encryption on boxes that can be fully dumped, So personally I cannot see it being that.
However, if they have been stupid enough to do exactly that,then this could be a blessing in disguise over the long term.
Short term though, I think its time to purchase that cable tuner Ive been meaning to buy for several months now.

Sky Living +1 12266 H 27500 5/6 works
[QUOTE=satscene;963344]Absolutely mate - already got it on my TM5402HD M3 - but that's NOT the point surely here?
12148H is the ONLY frequency upon which Eurosport 28E can be obtained, unlike other Sky Sports channels which can 'luckily' be found on more than ONE freq!
NB: Scanned in 12148H as 'added channel' on my Sky+ HD box - and they ALL still open ok, SD and HD!
Apparently another transponder gone tonight, 11597V. Just a couple of rather dubious channels there...
On a happier note, there are rumours of a fix on the way.
