good question are the BBC thinking of using it for anything else?
The transponder is still live but with no channels on it. The current average bitrate is 1.04-1.8 MBps and only data tables are being broadcast - I mentioned this earlier.
So not sure what is going to happen. I would hope the BBC use it for HD BBC1 regions but nobody knows yet. It would need reconfiguration to do this so we will have to wait and see.
Just to let you know that earlier today, two additional data pids appeared
04ff and 1fc9 but they are unknown usage. They are not active now so not sure what they were for.
I notice Sky haven't removed price drop's former EPG slot gap between Home store and Jewellery Maker - Pointless seeing as TruTV bought their EPG slot!

Something has changed, presumably the above has been removed, and the Tp switched off or changed to DVB-S2.
jimbo, can you confirm this any of this?
Thanks.
I have checked on this and the Arqiva bars are still on air, doing as they did before, I am using a Tevion HDSR 420 receiver, I know that some Sky boxes are able to receive the channel, only to lose it a few days later, as my mother's and a friend's HD boxes have done so, to get the channel back, I deleted the channel and added it again.
Local TV:
New licences have been granted for two further local TV stations, with the following commencement dates*:
Solent: 22/10/2014

Nothing for Freeview viewers is unfortunate!!!

can they not have used the space of 7HD Channels for 24/48hrs????
and launched Sky Sports 1-5 News & F1???
It's a bit of a waste of money to set up for 24 hours
The mux on 11.642 V is still on air
SR 27500 FEC 2/3 as before. Configuration changing all the time
There are currently 3349 PIDs in use on the mux even though there is one channel. Many of the PIDs are empty.
Thanks for that. Will be updating later tonight
