Yes...not quite sure why it works out like that. Still, I prefer French subtitles.

As usual, ARTE France will be showing the same programme, but 35 minutes later than the German transmission--- Very handy if you miss the start on German !”

Hope the weather stays clear. Just had a thunderstorm is Sarf London and lost the picture.
First production of the new season tonight- Le Nozze di Figaro 6PM. I assume the transmission will be on the same satellites as last season, for me that was 0.8W or5W

Had Macbeth last weekend! with Anna Netrebko who was awesome, but a pretty ugly production. Transponders much as last season, but I found the one on 24.5W was best for me. Subtitles were embedded in the data stream, apart from the two on 5W which were French and I think Spanish.
Regards to all,
Coming soon from the ROH, one I'm rather looking forward to:
L'elisir d'amore
26 November 2014
Laurent Pelly’s acclaimed production of Donizetti’s opera radiates tenderness, humour and southern sunshine, starring Vittorio Grigolo, Lucy Crowe and Bryn Terfel.
But before that from the Met we have:
Bizet’s Carmen - November 1, 2014, 12:55 pm ET
Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia - November 22, 2014, 12:55 pm ET

The only one with English subs embedded in the video is on
7.0E 11166H 13310
Also on 24.5W 11643 H
0.8W 11472 V
Both with selectable subs. in the data stream

Was Carmen on the "normal" 5W feed with French subtitles? I set my box as we were out all day but got nothing 
I don't think it even tried to record and I'm not sure why...
I don't know how the box responds if you try to record a channel with no signal so I don't know if it was just a timer glitch or whether there was no feed and that's it's normal response in such a case.

There appeared to be two signals on 5.0W 11.592H 26620...one with French subs., the other with Spanish sub. (Not sure whether that was the same as last season)

I can only get 0.8W at present and could not find the signal with English subs. I was assuming last year that this was on 5W. To get the English I had to record via scart lead and have it in SD. I thought this production was very drab ,both costumes and scenery. I am used to Carmen being a bit more colourful.

It was on 0.8W 11.472 V 13310 with the subs. embedded in the data stream. Hence with my Technomate the subtitles were selectable for language, exactly as it would be with a DVD. Unfortunately I have yet to find a way of burning a DVD with sub titles.
I too thought Carmen was pretty mediocre...with the exception of Micaela (Anita Hartig) it was acting by numbers.

Thanks, I'll check when I get in tonight but from memory I think that is the same as last year so it looks like it might have been a timer glitch on my box...

The English version of the MET broadcasts was on 0.8W all last year, but I always get a weaker signal on 0.8W so rather than risk losing it in bad weather I tend to watch the French version on 5W.
Sorry, have only just spotted it. Wagner's Opera "Rienzi, Last of the Tribunes" is on the FTA France 3 tonight on satellite 5W at a quarter past midnight. Cast: Torsten Kerl / Rienzi; Marika Schönberg / Irène; Richard Wiegold / Steffano Colonna; Géraldine Chauvet / Adriano and Stefan Heidemann / Paolo Orsini. This is Wagner's longest opera (!), but here cut down to approx 3 hours. It is the production from the Theatre du Capitole, Toulouse in 2012, which I have on blu-ray.
If you don't know Rienzi, it had its premiere the year before the "Flying Dutchman" and is generally considered the first significant Wagner opera. Torsten Kerl has made a major speciality of this role. Some stirring music, particularly in the overture, but I prefer the production from Deutsche Oper, Berlin, also available on blu-ray, where Rienzi is compared to Mussolini.

Bah! missed it. I get good signals on 5W as well.
Sorry Phil, I only saw it at the last minute. In his first opera Die Feen, Wagner took up the style of Weber / Marschner. There was a good concert performance of it in London a couple of years ago. The second opera Liebesverbot follows the style of Italian opera. I was involved in a performance of that while at Uni. The third opera, Rienzi emulates Mayerbeer and French Grand Opera but has some grand music and a foretaste of things to come. The fourth one was the Flying Dutchman, when he developed his own voice.
To add to your irritations, last night there was a live broadcast from Munich of Manon, with Kaufmann and Opolais, on NDR. I knew it was on BR Klassik radio and looked to see if it was on Bavarian TV. Didn't expect it to be on NDR. I missed it too To add insult to injury the German critics report that they were fantastic together, real chemistry; the opera couple to watch, never mind Trebbers. I suspect there are more revelations to come.

I have always relied on Rondo.de for information on forthcoming operas and music on German TV and radio, but missed both these transmissions. Is there a better source of this information ?

I think I have it all, it certainly recorded something but my box has a habit of cutting off the end when I set it from the epg! I'm not sure what format it's in, a .TS file I think but I could probably figure a way to get it to you.
