Yes there is - only with a non Sky box. You cant see it with a digibox - its hidden.

are you sure about the sr? i have never seen 22.000 with 2/3.usually 5/6.I can't tune in to it,then most of the latest channels you mentioned can't be received in Cyprus.

I'm getting the BBC Ultra thingy here in southern Sweden ok. It is a sr of 22000 as Analoguesat says.

How do you get all this info analoguesat? It always amazes me! Do you work for sky?

 

[Analoguesat]

Nah - I work at one of the local high schools running a dilapidated computer network! I just keep my eyes open when Im reading other web sites and collate any useful snippets. Heres the latest one

Five.2 believed to be testing (ftv not fta).

12304H
SR 27500
FEC 2/3
Tagged as "9343"

Most of the time it has been running parallel to five, although its started to vary the last couple of days.

PS - I do a lot of searching for test channels as well. (Much more interesting than much of the programming)

Theres a Boomerang test on 12051V 27500 2/3 tagged as "7102".

This may well be in preparation for the recently announced Boomerang +1, although its just parallel to the main channel at the moment.
