uk bbc channels normally on 28.2 on intelsat 907 27.5w ?

[Llew]

Thanks Llew- with the difference being only 0.5 seconds as you say, this could be accounted for by differences in demodulation/processing efficiency.

Did you by any chance also compare your TBS 6925 with freeview? And do you have a freeview TV rather than a DVB-T PC card to compare against?

I think if the MUX on 27.5w were being used to feed the freeview transmitters across the country the mux would be further ahead - at least 2-3 seconds - due to the buffering / error correction technology used in DVB-T these days usually adding 2-3 seconds lag on the transmission. I actually expected the 27.5w mux to be well ahead of DVB-T -unless the F15 is very slow at processing/demodulation?

1. I tested a Freeview TV ( A Goodmans 15" I have hooked up as a monitor in my set-up) against the DR.HD F15 (RCA into the PC's VLC via a video grabber). BBC1 3 seconds ahead of the 27.5W BBC Mux.

2. I then tested the Freeview TV BBC1 transmission against the 27.5W BBC Mux on my TBS 6925 card, using DVB Dream. Same delay, 3 seconds.

So as far as I can see, if we take any buffering delay of the Freeview signal into account, this would suggest the BBC Mux is way behind the Freeview transmissions proper. Maybe there's be a delay being introduced in the uplink to the satellite?

Can't make much sense of my earlier test result using the PCTV Nanostick (?)

Is there something special to do the the DrHD reciever to open up 27.5W BBC?

Needs a patch to allow adding the BBC Mux BISS keys. No details here, see the Russian DR.HD forum mentioned in one of the above posts.

Someone answered my question concerning stvhd and s4chd. He claimed that when this transporder was FTA in December these 2 channels were unavailable (sort of blackout) and they were suspected not to be there at all. Can anyone confirm that? There might not be any other channels on the transporder apart from these we can watch now.

I entered pids of the other known channels on the transporder to already scanned channel BBCalba and they work but it does not give BBCalba but appeared the channel from which I took pids (eg. 101 from bbc one gives just bbcone. I tried other unused pids so far eg. 701 but it was futile.

According to Kingofsat BBC Alba is FTA but STV HD and S4C HD are both encrypted in Biss.

Yes, you only need to check the tuner can handle high symbolerate, in this case 44100

The Hauppauge won't reach the high SR on this Mux.

 

[marjanen]

Yeah, but if you look at ie. Dr hd f15 specs there is only:
Symbol rateDVB-S : 2~45Msps DVB-S2 : 10~30Msps(QPSK) 10~30Msps(8PSK)

so I am a bit confused here...

Ignore the stated specs. The tuner in the F15 will certainly reach to an SR of 45Msps with DVB-S2 8PSK carriers.

Yes but it will freeze sometimes as some said earlier, better to buy the F16 that handles it ok, the difference in sensitivity between F15 and F16 is non-existant according to the Russian forum, they perform the same.

What stand alone receivers can successfully tune these channels?
a list of tested receivers would be useful
