Latest news from 28E / Channels coming to Sky 2008

[Analoguesat]

Channel 4 has moved off all its regions off 12168V onto Astra 2D 10714H

The BBC Gaelic service BBC Alba is now carrying a testcard on 11952H 27500 2/3 tagged as 6736. Video tests cant be far away.

Not all. At the moment there is one left on 12.168V. C4l test still showing ch4.
I mention this because people on 2.4m cannot receive the 2D version here,but the 2D version is a plus for all us 3m owners because we have had break up/no signal on ch4 for a long time due to interference from arabsat.
And ch4 is now FTA

 

[Analoguesat]

Yes I KNOW that one is still there but the Channel 4 labels have moved and thats all Im interested in for this thread

All the expats in forn parts should be looking in the 28E fringe reception sub section for the latest news of which channels have departed for Astra 2D

 

[Zorba]

Okay Boss,can I also mentioned I found the test transmission of Diva+1 and probably Hallmark+1 on 11.623 ? I mention this because we cannot get Diva over here and Hallmark gets interfered with from Arabsat.
I know,stick it in the fringe section

 

[Analoguesat]

Hallmark +1 & Diva +1 should launch onto the epg on Thursday

Epg numbers quoted always refer to the epg on Sky digital boxes.

Chat Back has launched onto epg 895

 

[snurgenator]

2so does this means that we can say bye bye to hallmark and diva?'O''O'

 

[Analoguesat]

No idea - any changes to their status will be reported here though.

 

[snurgenator]

This is a fantastic thread for checking changes as they happen and Analoguesat does a great job updating . I personally think discussions should be done elsewhere on the forum and leave this thread for analoguesat to post info only. Everyones input is important but may be better placed elsewhere.
