I'm sure this has been discussed before, but if BBC One+1 is going to be SD only, then what will be happening to the HD spectrum from 9pm onwards when CBBC HD ends?

They don't know yet. Selling spare capacity to a third party or even creating another timeshift where mentioned as possibilities.

Is NDTV 24x7 free-to-air? Or is it temporary

Is it still there? Not getting anything at the moment on 11.582 H with either the old or new SR and FEC settings.

Same here, transponder must have been switched off again.

Perhaps we will get BBC TWO+1 as well if another HD channel or broadcaster doesn't take the space? Would be enough to even fit in BBC FOUR+1 too.

NDTV is now FTA and i think is going to o remain that way.

Update

11.585 H, 27.500, 2/3 DVB-S, QPSK has been switched back on and is once again a copy of 11.390 H, 27.500, 2/3, DVB-S, QPSK.

Update

11.642 V, 27.500, 5/6, DVB-S, QPSK seems to have been switched off.

When viewing the 'SKY' label I'm getting "No satellite signal being received" message.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Also, you might want to check 11.053 H, no longer getting 20700-20780 labels. It's either been switched off or changed again.

Digi Man · 26/02/15 - 13:00

Update

'Showcase+1' has now changed transponders, moving from 11.344 H, 27.500, 2/3, DVB-S, QPSK to 11.222 H, 27.500, 2/3, DVB-S, QPSK.

Have 64 HD (12.188H) and 64 SD (12.148 H) left?

"64 HD" was on 12.188 H for a period of time, presumably though it has now been removed. If it hasn't been removed then it must be hidden from digiboxes as I no longer see it when scanning 12.188 H.

As for "64 SD", I've never seen it.

Perhap's jimbo can conifrm things?

No sign of a 64 HD label on 12188H after scanning it in on a Technomate 6900.

Do you get a 64 SD label on 12.148 H?

Nope. What was this 64 channel anyway?

djrich · 26/02/15 - 18:14

It was an empty label with no service. I think the purpose of it is still unknown.

Thanks, I thought I'd never seen it on the EPG. Now I know why.
