Yes PPV 227 to 240 are going on hiatus.
There are 3 new French HD channels launching in April/May. The only 200 numbers left are 296/297/299
So renumbering will be required when 8PSK starts. I can imagine the 100,000s calls they will get from Legacy receiver subs who use the "parental lockouts' to create their IPG: "What happened to channel ...?"
