Thank you for keeping this going, it was useful, lets hope its not going to shut down!

How are you hosting it? It takes forever to load! If its shared hosting, who is your provider?

I've noticed the loading times too, the site appears to be hosted in Australia. The ping times are very high which impacts on the time taken to load the page.

It's a great resource though and hopefully it stays online!

fmradiotuner1 · 25/10/14 - 19:28

Site loads fast for me here.

Digi Man · 25/10/14 - 19:51

One update to the "Channels testing on Sky" page, which is-

"50225" on 12.522 V can be removed.

ocav · 25/10/14 - 22:13

Ah yeah it's pointing to 9web according to WhoIs;

Domain Name: TVCHANNELLISTS.COM
Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com
Registrant Name: Michael Yang
Registrant Organization: Terramonde
Name Server: NS1.9WEB.COM.AU
Name Server: NS2.9WEB.COM.AU
Name Server: NS3.9WEB.COM.AU
DNSSEC: unsigned

Hence the slow loading times, it would be good if the site owner coild use CloudFlare to speed it up for UK viewers

OP: if it's your website, here's CloudFlare and there's a free plan http://CloudFlare.com

Yes, you are correct that the website is hosted in Australia, as I reside in Australia. It loads relatively quickly for me here, but obviously, the long path to get to the UK is slowing down access for some ISPs in the UK (since fmradiotuner1 suggests it loads quickly for him).

Thanks to ocav for the suggestion to use CloudFlare. I've signed the site up for it and have adjusted the site's configuration accordingly, although it might take some time before the name server details update at your ISP for the improved performance to take effect. Hopefully, CloudFlare will help with the loading times.

Another possibility for the slowness is the fact that the Sky wiki page is quite long, meaning that it might take some time for your browser to render it all.

Fmradiotuner1 has an ISP that probably caches content, hence his load times are quicker, but CloudFlare just adds that extra step in stopping it from feeling like a lifetime!

Thank you for integrating that, certainly will make the site more useful and it's something I'll help contribute towards!

Useful site. Thanks a lot

Aetnla · 31/10/14 - 23:26

I have noticed the timezone for the site has been changed from UTC to AEDT meaning the timestamps are now 11 hours ahead of UK time. I much preferred it set to UTC.

[Deleted User] · 01/11/14 - 03:38

That's peculiar, as I haven't changed any of the settings on the website. Looking at it right now, the server time seems to be set to UTC still. For me, being in UTC +11, it says:

Server time: 02:37
Local time: 13:37

If you have an account, you can change the time zone shown to you on this page.

Site is down at the moment

DWA9IS · 20/11/14 - 18:54

Not another site for channel lists gone down, how many more sites will go this way before one stays?

[Deleted User] · 21/11/14 - 00:59

Hi,

Sorry about that. It's back up now. The anti-spam plugin had some issues, but it's all resolved now. TV Channel Lists isn't going down - it's here to stay. Apologies and thanks for your patience during the interruption.

Digi Man · 28/01/15 - 10:59

"64 HD" is on 12.188 H.

Site down again, hopefully a temporary problem.

Working now

[Deleted User] · 31/01/15 - 02:41

I think the hosting provider had some international connectivity issues – but as mackersdublin has noted, it seems to be all working again now.

Great news, thanks.

I think something really needs to be done about the amount of spam TV Channel Lists receives. The recent changes is always flooded with spam which has been deleted.

zeebre12 · 31/01/15 - 21:00

If there any chance of having a master list of digital television channels for the US like the one for the UK? (only the national channels)..know it would be quiet difficult to do and take a bit of time.

[Deleted User] · 02/02/15 - 10:12

Yes, I'm not really sure what to do about the spam without making it too overly restrictive, but I go through the recent changes pretty much every day to clear it out.

Edit: I'm trying switching it back to ReCaptcha to see if the spam level decrease.

Digi Man · 11/05/15 - 18:52

"55272" is listed twice. The "55272" on 12.633 H is a typo and needs to be replaced by "51125" which is showing 'Setanta Sports Ireland'.

Also, TP 78, 12.572 V is incorrect. I believe it should be TP 77, 12.572 H if it's still on air.

Whats the point in the extra TBN UK feed anyway, which version does Freesat use?

Digi Man · 18/05/15 - 17:42

Some typo's-

'Nicktoons ROI' is currently on 11.224 V.

'PTV Prime' is currently on 11.222 H.

'Angling TV' label (still broadcasting) is on C6L 11.390 V.

I've maybe missed it, but is there a guide to the significance of the colour highlighting ? I see yellow re HD swap, but am a bit mystified by some of the other uses of highlighting?

Disco · 20/05/15 - 07:05

This pre-dates the current site but I assume it was added simply to make it easier to see at a glance which channels were in a particular package or were free-to-air or free-to-view etc. Which colour was chosen for which package appears to be arbitrary. Perhaps it would benefit from a table at the top explaining the colours (I note the Virgin page has one).

Hey there!
