[Highlight] TV NEWSIE BITS[/highlight]
1. [url=]ITV testing new S2 transponder.[/url]. ITV is now testing a new transponder in DVB-S2. The frequency on 11.052 H is configured as if it was an HD mux, but is currently running test cards with the same channel structure as it had before Christmas. No info is known yet as to what ITV intend to do with the capacity.
2. The 2nd MUX on Saorview launched on 16 December 2013 bringing RTÉ ONE HD and some test cards for future HD, SD and radio services. There are also two test cards on the 9ºE Saorsat service as well. What these will eventually become is not yet known, but they are believed to be place holders for TG 4 HD (expected to launch in 2014), possibly TV 3 HD as well and further SD channels.
3. Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) abandons plans to launch four DTT commercial multiplexes on Saorview in the Republic.
[Highlight] RADIO NEWS[/highlight]
1. Details about Phase 4 of BBC National DAB network – to be completed by end of 2015
2. Ofcom have now advertised the “Digital 2” national DAB licence and more
3. MuxCo have announced their latest roll-out of DAB Digital Radio multiplexes. North Yorkshire launches 17 December 2014 and Lincknshire is expected in 2015.
4. RTE Extends Longwve 252 Service but German broadcasters are closing medium wave transmitters . There will also be NO stations from Germany on Longwave after 31 December 2014.

[Highlight] TV NEWSIE BITS[/highlight]
1. [url=]ITV testing new S2 transponder.[/url]. ITV is now testing a new transponder in DVB-S2. The frequency on 11.052 H is configured as if it was an HD mux, but is currently running test cards with the same channel structure as it had before Christmas. No info is known yet as to what ITV intend to do with the capacity.
2. The 2nd MUX on Saorview launched on 16 December 2013 bringing RTÉ ONE HD and some test cards for future HD, SD and radio services. There are also two test cards on the 9ºE Saorsat service as well. What these will eventually become is not yet known, but they are believed to be place holders for TG 4 HD (expected to launch in 2014), possibly TV 3 HD as well and further SD channels.
3. Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) abandons plans to launch four DTT commercial multiplexes on Saorview in the Republic.

Not to sound cynical but for the BBC that's another HD channel, considering the poor quality bitrates they've reduced their HD services down to
Naughty M60, giving BBC ideas on how to make HD look even worse LOL
Sorry, couldn't resist slipping that line in!!
It would upset a few more expats too, as the higher FEC would require another 1dB or so of signal to lock...
You can take number 2 out, that's over a year old now.
Sorry - managed to do the rest I hope but I will change no 2 for next week - or rather on Thursday!
I was wondering if that was why you may not be getting lock on 11464H?
I do wonder if this TP is purely for SES FEC testing as 3/4 has previously not been used with 8PSK modulation. Time will tell.

have now changed transponders, moving from 12.545 H, 22.000, 5/6, DVB-S, QPSK to 11.662 H, 27.500, 2/3, DVB-S, QPSK.
So the mux on 12.545 H has ceased now. I wonder what will go on it in its place?
Any idea as to whats going on?
I assume the label is there just for testing purposes (although could be wrong), it will probably disappear and get replaced with a proper (or should I say numbered) label in due course.
My 1.8m dish is too small for any 2F/2E UK spot transponders. It used to get some 2D UK spots but not these new generation satellites. 3-4m or larger dishes are now needed in Helsinki. Even some 2F/2E European beams are difficult now on a 1.8m.
ITV are also using FEC 3/4 8PSK on 11053H aren't they?
Yep, ITV's TP63 is using 3/4 FEC in 8PSK. I suspect that the five services on it are being used for testing purposes by Freesat and Sky to check across a range of STB's there's not too much phase error and how good a reduction to 3/4 works in the UK.
It was originally 5 November 2014 before it was amended/extended to today's date. Now it has been given a further two months to launch.
Bodes well doesn't it. Another shining example of the success that is Local TV.
PS Your TV Manchester has a current "must launch" date of next Wednesday 4 February but hasn't even been granted a L-DTPS licence yet so looking unlikely that will happen either.

64 HD has left this mux
64 SD has appeared on a new transponder with TSID 2199 (this mux is showing as 20000 MHz - yet another one!
It was and that has moved as well. I had forgotten about which frequency thaty was on!
