Two things. Firstly last night BBC Leeds had serious technical
problems, and the Hull (aka Peter Levy Show :-) ) went out in both
regions. I don't know if or how that could have affected the Leeds EPG
listing though.

Secondly to add BBC Leeds to 'Other Channels' you need to enter in 'Add
Channels' 10788 MHz (and set SR to 22. FEC to 5/6) for the BBC Leeds
region, though it should reappear on the EPG, and you only need to do
that for ITV regions.

Have you tried re-booting the box, that normally fixes such glitches ?
