Cielo (Italy)

Atlantic Bird 3

12.674H
SR 16935
FEC 2/3

FTA (DVB-S2 QPSK)

Also on Hotbird (DVB-S)

A test card previously promised a start date of 1st Decamber.

Translating, this one seems to suggest there are problems with the ministry (i.e. Berlusconi) in giving the channel the go-ahead

Perhaps a case of, not enough €'s in the brown envelope, that was dropped into B's pocket?

Hi,

This channel is now showing a series of slides, one of which states "in arrivo". Dare I assume that 'clearance' has been given to allow programming to start?

Maybe they shouldn't have named the channel 'cielo' ('sky' in Italian)

Started regular transmissions now. Also on Hotbird 8 12.034V.

News items at present, with the accent on the Berlusconi face-altering incident...:-hammer
