21200 finally gets named Channel4HD ! Things are happening!

 

[Shrubsole]

...And finally mapped to Sky HD boxes!

Transport stream 0814

Great signal improvement on Eurobird 1

fantastic 100% SQ on CH4 Hd channel 140 for me too on SkyHD box...well that wasnt so painful

On the other side of the coin, I have now LOST CH4 HD from 12.606V. The original Eurobird 4HD transponder. Its now off air.

Any news on how we can in southern Italy get 4HD.

This is bad for business

EB1 ch4 hd dead now and the ne oen has epog now

 

[welshman234]

Checked the VU+ and the frequency for CH4Hd on Eurobird is no longer available...... How are things in the Canaries and eastern europe now?!

My post coincided with yours Andrew sorry!!!

 

[welshman234]

7720 is still encrypted but now has some EPG info( now and next) it will not be long....

 

[Shrubsole]

12.606V is still lit up, but no channels and 96.7% null packets.

Seems like a straight swap

Sorry for the slightly triumphalist note in my post I dont wish to sound like a gloat. Have you checked any forums in Italy to see if people near you have had any luck with bigger dishes?

 

[DragonSat]

Not yet, there are reports in Milan listed on King of sat with a 1 metre. If a 1.8 would work for 1N it might be a viable upgrade to get back the freesat stuff. Otherwise were slowly loosing the channels.
Channel 4 HD today, maybe by tomorrow no ITV either on either of the 2 2A beams

I'm in NE Italy and last weekend I used my new Inverto Black ultra lnb on new CH4HD frequency (11126) and I locked it. Not so good signal, but I have to say that in this moment I have a 60 cm dish. Before I used a cheap low quality lnb with the same dish and I hadn't signal there. I guess that with a 85cm dish all would be good here near Slovenia border.

Has anyone tested the BBC HD tp to check if it's still on 2d or switched to 1N?

 

[Pietclock]

all 16 2D transponders are still on 2D, no change there at all.

Where on 1N is BBC HD meant to be?

 

[welshman234]

I dont think we will see BBCHD on 1n for some time yet....why change when 2d is ok?

 

[Shrubsole]

BBC HD is still on 10847 V Unless someone knows differently?
I haven't seen it on 1N so at the moment there is nothing to switch over to.

 

[andrewcrawford]

its on 2d signal is still the same
