Well I can help with the YouTube clip as I had it saved in favourites... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA2f7...eature=related

PS. I had a quick look through the Arte listings and couldn't see anything, so just hope the feed gets picked up quickly...

I could not find the feed anywhere for the Bolshoi-is it possible that the cinemas are getting their feeds from cable? Pity if so, there are two more transmissions to come .

Feed was apparently on 0.8W but was mpeg 4, which my receiver can't cope with.

Regards to all,

Sorry I didn't spot any feeds, but we have been out and about...

All a bit thin on the ground at the moment!

WEDNESDAY, 28 MARCH

I am your labyrinth Wolfgang Rihm's opera fantasy "Dionysus" Arte 06:00, 60 min CET

I know its not opera but the ROH is showing Romeo and Juliet live in cinemas on Thursday at 7.45pm. What feed do they normally use?

Some of the previous ROH feeds have been...

Intelsat 905 at 24.5W
Fréquence: 11643
Pol: H
SR: 12890

Intelsat Thor 5-6 at 0.8w.
Frequency 11530
SR 12890
Pol: V

Atlantic Bird 5W
Fréquence: 11592
Pol: H
SR: 12890

In the past I've found 5W to be the best for me as the feed on 0.8W isn't a very strong signal. As I say they normally go live about an hour before the performance starts and you may need to play around with the SR.

Also keep a look out on this site as they often spot them first http://www.satelliweb.com/index.php?section=livef

Thanks for this info, I hope it comes through on 5W. PS. not called Atlantic Bird any longer. The cinemas seem to use Thor 0.8W ,but how do they get their signal up and down the country? Must have dishes the size of Jodrell Bank

Apparently not, I wonder why they changed...


It's borderline on my 60cm dish and I know another poster further North can't get it at all. But I guess they have 1m+ dishes...

Eutelsat has changed it's naming policy for the entire fleet, except for Hotbird.
Eutelsat renaming policy

There are a number of spot beams on the satellites at 0.8W. Most are aimed at Scandinavia, but the Europe beam is quite strong over most of the UK, as is "Spot 1", which may carry the feeds.

It's apparently live on the first feed I posted but I can't get that...

Edit: I have a Ballet on here...

5W
Fréquence: 11592
Pol: H
SR: 14400

Seems I have La Bayadere from Paris....

Don't forget this Saturday...

Met Broadcast, Massenet’s Manon– New Production

April 7, 2012, 12 pm ET

Approximate running time: 4 hours, 5 minutes

This really is a must watch.

Yes, don't forget it's an hour earlier than usual, 5pm British time.

The gales last Tuesday knocked my dish out of alignment yet again, so the engineers were here on Thursday putting it right for me. Turns out I have a 75cm dish, not an 85cm one that the original installers told me, also that it's not a very robust one. Next time it gets knocked for six we're agreed that I'll replace it altogether. This made me ask in passing what size dish I'd need to get Thor at 8W as I'd never managed to get a signal from it in the past. They thought the dish I already had should be more than sufficient, played around a little bit and, hey presto, I now have Thor. I'll be trying it out later on this afternoon.

YEEEEES! It's coming through! Signal strength is about 60% which isn't as high as at 5W, but it should be OK.

Sorry but there's no Thor at 8w.

I can get the transponder on 5w with my small 35cm dish it's that strong.

I forgot the decimal point, it's .8W.

Just spotted Rinaldo whilst channel hopping,it you want to catch the last half hour.

19E
BR Alpha

12265H
27500
3/4

From a quick glance at the epg,it looks like BR Alpha willl be showing more opera in its BR Alpha Klassik slot.
So one to watch out for.

Pelleas und Melisande

----------------------------
5-5-12

Jonas Kaufmann singt Deutsche Arien

and

Edita Gruberova singt Arien Mozart
10.20PM(BST)

Edita Gruberova singt Italienische Opernarien

11.15PM(BST)

Did you enjoy it?

We saw Anna perform this live at the ROH and I thought she was brilliant in the role...

It's better than I get on 0.8W but I only have a 65cm dish...

With an 80cm dish I get a reasonable signal on 0.8W, however, signal quality only ever comes out at about 65% (most other signals are about 90%).

In spite of that picture and sound are excellent.

Regards

Don't forget this gem...

If you have never seen this production with the red settee before then I really would say give it a go. I put off watching Anna's interpretation for years firstly because I'm generally not keen on modernistic productions and secondly because it is my favourite opera and I didn't want to taint that. I ask you to trust me when I say it just works....

Verdi’s La Traviata

April 14, 2012, 12:55 pm ET


A link to the cast sheet can be found here http://www.metoperafamily.org/metope.../LiveinHD.aspx and it's worth watching just for that.

Have I convinced you all yet?

Natalie Dessay as Violetta would be enought to convince me! I saw her on Arte, in a production from Aix en Provence. She is superb.

Is everyone getting prepared for "La Traviata" from the Met? Begins at 6pm British time. The signal's coming through on Thor 1W now.

I'll be watching the French version on:

5W
Freq 11592
Hor
SR 25780

At the moment they are playing various clips...

I'm actually out watching a show tonight and so will have to record it.

Edit: to say they are now playing an annoying test loop...
