As part of the BBCs process to close down one of their satellite transponder frequencies in a bid to save money, the BBC Sports streams have changed frequencies.
As mentioned on http://costablancasatellite.blogspot.com/2011/09/have-you-lost-bbc-news-bbc-alba-and-bbc.html , BBC News, BBC Alba and BBC Parliament have moved to another frequency.
The BBC Sports streams have now moved onto this vacated frequency.
Sky box and Freesat box users will not have to do anything, as your boxes will automatically update tot he new frequencies.
Users of non Sky and Non freesat "generic" or free to air boxes will have to perform a scan of the new frequency for the BBC SPorts Streams.
The new frequency for the BBC Sports stream is 11954 h 27.5 2/3.
They are currently showing as channels with the names of "6711 6712 6713 6714 6715".
This process by the BBC will mean that users of Sky boxes and Freesat boxes, who used to use the BBC News channel and the Red Button 3001 process to access the BBC Sports Multiscreen streams on a small satellite dish, will no longer be able to receive these BBC Sports stream, as you will no longer have access to a BBC channel on your small satellite dish to launch the Red Button application.
UPDATE:
At the moment (30/9/11) you can add the BBC Streams from the new BBC Sports stream frequency of 11954H.

input frequency of 11954 H
find channels
press yellow next to the channel labelled as "6711 6712 6713 6714 6715" which will place a tick next to those channels.
Save
These stored channels will appear in the the Sky box's "other channels" list.
However, there will be video, but no audio.
So the current workaround is:
In the services menu, go to 4 systms set up,
then language and subtitles,
and change the Favourite language to anything other than English,
You can currently get audio on the new "streams", and its still fine on most of the other channels also
