I see from Kingofsat that this shares a transponder with ITV1HD
Granada & STV HD, both of wich are in the clear but Central is scrambled. Does anyone know why this is? CD

Probably Sky trying to cripple Freesat. Presumably, that channel can't be picked up on Freesat receivers, which only have two English regions on HD (London/Granada). Another oddity is that STV HD appears to be at a resolution of 1920*1080. As is Granada, The London encoding has a tendency to "stutter" on my receiver.
