Default Is this a result of N3 changeover?

Hello gents

West London, SV4 USB, some days ago some channels went black, yesterday some more have gone black, rescanning 'finds' all channels (altho many are double-found, annoyingly), but the ones that went black remain black. Keycode set to on after each scan, V.107 used but have tried with other releases.

Is this the dreaded stage by stage channel switchover to N3 I keep reading about? If so, fair enough, had a good run, but one thing puzzles me - wouldnt the N3 changeover be preceded by the receipt of a new card? Have recieved no such thing, so could this loss of channels be some other (treatable) problem?

In hope

virmin arnt the best organised bunch and even though i dont know for sure if your area is getting switched over it sounds that way. and in leeds they are still only just getting to a handfull of customers that werent issued new cards.

got a sv4 aswell and noticed the same thing sky1,all the bbc channels,e4 and a few other channels dissappeared.
whilst the bbc and e4 channels are freeview there was also a few $ channels that decided to leave.
Tried manually scanning them but only a factory reset and scan did the trick.
Turns out they all changed frequency.
bbc channels went from 7??.750 to 474.750.
