    11.934GHz/V is a Sky transponder which is still 2/3 at the moment.

    So 12.285H becomes DVB-S2, if 11.934GHz/V is sky as well, then I wonder if they will switch that to DVB-S2 or just increase its FEC?

    11.934GHz/V is what the Sky box looks at after it boots up (Sky intro video) and contains a fair bit of data too, but I'm sure there is no reason it couldn't look at another transponder if need be. I suspect if 11.778GHz/V stays the same then 11.934GHz/V may also stay as it is too but just a guess really.

    BBC1 HD - 1830 hrs

    I always thought there was a preview style programme during the 1830 black-out on BBC1 HD but now it appears there is not and just the clock counting down from 26:30 to zero

    Just noticed the HD preview is now back on BBC One during the 18.30 regional news.

    ElectricBLUE Girl Next Door and Viewers Wives which are on 920,921 and 922 respectively are all on Programmes no longer available from 5.30 Next thursday

    if those three close and are removed from the epg then the numbers in use for adult channels will be as follows: 900-914, 923-926, 930, 931, 939-943, 945. Time for a reshuffle and tidy-up of the adult section maybe?
