Nice quick useful reference A/S

 

[rolfw]

Nice one, well done Ross.

 

[Analoguesat]

We will try and keep it updated - more changes are likely over the next few weeks.

Nice thread m8, well done!
Things change so fast these days a thread like this is badly wanted!

[mattaious]

Excellent!

I did have some issues with it not displaying channels - just a message to ring sly or an upgrade and get robbed,

But an excellent list for reference.

Great that I can still get C4 on my Pace2600. I thought I´d lost it for good as Astra2D horizontals are too weak on my undersized 1m50 dish in NW Spain. I´ll add it to the extra channels menu tonight. Many thanks Analoguesat!

Not only is the C4 channel still blank, but its lost its epg info - which is what I was working on last night. So not quite sure what going on there now.

Ive also received info that the E4 / More4 Irish versions arent ftv - can some folks confirm please? I'll change the status on the top post in the meantime.

 

[kitschcamp]

Yes, Irish E4 and More4 are subscription, but any UK subscription works for them.

 

[Analoguesat]

Updated for the latest info on C4 / C4 +1 / E4 +1. can someone tell me the encryption level of E4 +1 - I assume its subscription not ftv.

All I know is - E4 Ireland works on my first box with my basic UK subscription but not with my second box with a UK FTV card - crazy.

Dear Analoguesat,
Put me out of my misery please.
What does the TLA psb stand for ?
Thanks

[bashwell]

Gotcha!!
Phanks mate, been wondering for ages

 

[denis1501]

Some of the channels on 12480V have now been renamed to Channel 4, Channel 4+1 and E4+1 and my Irish card is now mapping to this frequency. Excellent stuff!
regards
D.

 

[jno]

Looks to me like More4 Ireland and E4 Ireland have left 11565V - I can only get these on 12480 now - still there though, thank you Channel 4, yes, I love your output and I will buy all the things in your adverts in return for you not going 100% to 2D

 

[Analoguesat]

Yes - the 11565H versions ceased yesterday - and were removed from the list at the top of the page

 

[Zorba]

How come More 4+1 is FTV and More 4 not?

 

[Analoguesat]

More4 +1 isnt carried away from 2D
