I havent taken a look at the uplink today, but the two D61.5 and 148, never had an engineering flag and has been avaible to subs sence they were uplinked :)

Odd... the file I have on 7/19 has them uplinked as engineering.

Nope they have been available since they have been uplinked. :)

"7967 - KNDX removed engineering flag". Digiblur, this one switched from one engineering to another engineering. The latter being somewhat more recent in usage for special circumstances.
 
I have no info on the D61.5 and D148 thing as my sample was later in the day. I will say it is highly unusual for them to uplink an available channel witout an EPG entry already in place.
 
digiblur is correct, when they were uplinked they were engineering, Cause I tried to view the channels when you reported them being added and couldn't. I tried a day or two later and could
