Default new movie channel for freeview
T-View

Testing now on LCN32 as a Mheg PIN protected service.

A cursory glance suggests it will be on from 6pm-8pm every day showing films.

It was testing for 10 mins at 430pm now it gemstv so this ovie channel should be starting soon

Yes but its about Channel Space.


Virgin in order to Add ITV1HD
had to delete yet another +1 channel.

Freeview is having problems
as FreeviewHD now gets first choice.
FreeviewHD got Ch4HD
but FreesatHD did not.


Sky has the Most Channels
and can add as many as They wish
like 3-D HD channel.


Watch Channel
is trying to get onto Freeview
if they get the next Big Brother Endemol contract.

We get free channels such as Channel 4 and RTÉ1, about 15 of them but you don't need to buy a box.

I have heard that we will get freeview in the coming months though.

we have some Sky and some Freeview mixed as when we dropped Sky to change to Freeview, it still carried some Sky channels over with it.

would like more music channels on Freeview though.

Default 301 BBC interactive is moving from Mux B to Mux 1 pre DSO only
This morning the BBC are testing 301 on Mux 1 in the London area as a fifth video stream. It has no LCN so will not tune in. Null packets on Mux 1 are down to 500kbps from 2Mbps.

The content can be seen to be identical to that on Mux B which is still live with LCN301. The Mux 1 version is also 544x576 with 192kbps and 128kbps audio channels. Bit rates will be up on www.10ash.info shortly.

At some point they will switch over to the Mux 1 version to enable sufficient capacity on Mux B for its third commercial stream, which will also be shown on post DSO Arq A.

I guess swapping one video stream between muxes is easier than ten radio / audio streams.

Also changed today, the long running retune caption for Community Channel on Mux B has finally been removed

Didn't realise TV were still showing porn. I thought all people got their porn from the Internet.

Yes Paying for Sky

Even BBC Legends work at Sky as Only Sky

which is free to HD Customers.


10Million Customers
