I doubt it, however should this have been as a result of the Sat Operator taking action (SES Astra), then communicating with the satellite isn't just a case of clicking a button on a computer. So the pattern of SD dropping first, followed by HD makes sense in that they have to communicate with the satellite to do so.
Being picky - wouldn’t they just have removed it from from the multiplex before it was uplinked to the satellite? Might not have needed any change on the satellite itself.
It's dependent on whether Globecast cut the feed, or whether SES Astra did. If Globecast did, then it's just a dead stream at the satellite, but if SES Astra did, it would involve what I said before.
Quite complex stuff all this transmission lark!
