BBC HD 1080 TestCard and 5.1 Audio Channel Check
is on BBC HD weekdays at approx 15:53 until 16:00.
( 7 minutes )
Just before normal BBC HD programmes start.
Certainly on all the days I have recently checked, and recorded on various PVRs.
( Possibly on every weekday )
On Freeview HD and SKY+HD
Same high quality ( and resolution ) recording & HDMI playback on both platforms for my equipment.

Still does, every hour. It alternates between lip sync test and test card.
I saw that the other morning during the Preview, lasted about 5 mins from 11:15 to 11:20 then it went back to the Preview Loop.
Whats more interesting will be the test transmissions on 625 lines for local TV. these should be started soon. and there is likely to be several london local stations starting by 2015 ,all private enterprise or charity ones.. 2014 seems to be a favourite in some towns on a experimental basis. birmingham ,manchester,liverpool. Not scotland because of the devolution bill comeing out and its up to the scots if they want it or not
Try? There's already been some programming. Last Night of the Proms was in 3D, as has been the Queen's Speech and also Mr Stink. I saw the latter and it was pretty good for what it was.
I'm not interested in the Proms, but I was curious about the Queen's speech. However, I was with family on the day and went to look at it on Iplayer but it wasn't even on there. I didn't see what the point was of all the endless hype about filming the Queen in 3D, only to show it once - at a time when most people are busy with other things - and then never ever again. There would've been plenty of chances to show it in 3D on BBC HD.
and after all it was a Sky news production
- and with much 2D-3D in it .... but some shots were stunning!
Really? In previous years (not sure about 2012) it's had a BBC2 repeat later on Xmas Day, and the 2D version was on Iplayer, so why not 3D? Especially after all the hype?
Nothing. But then, DS posters are not always very intelligent, are they?
I've keep a recording of the BBC HD test card (and Sky's 3D one) on all my boxes.
Write to Janice Hadlow, Controller, BBC Two and ask for the HD Testcard bit of This is BBC HD to be shown as part the This is BBC Two loop which replaced Pages from Ceefax last October from Wednesday 27th March 2013 onwards.
