Who cares about the actual background music, this change causes a far bigger problem: how does one download the EPG data from Sky now (e.g. on an HTPC)??

Just sorted this myself

BT have secured two slots on the Sky EPG ahead of the launch of their sports channels:-

(you need to copy the link into google to be able to read the page)

I wonder when we can expect to see the test channels sailing one and two appear?

I don't think they are allowed to leave them unused for too long otherwise they lose them.

Someone on here will know the rules better than me!

Link does not work, I get "Forbidden 403".

LOL they cant decide to either turn on skynews arabic or just off, this signle been going off and on for many months,looks like channel from Mars need all time to work lol

1 HD and 1 SD presumably?

It depends on who BT have secured the slots from, if it's another broadcaster already available on the Sky EPG then both slots will almost certainly be for SD versions of BT's channels. If BT have secured these two slots from Sky themselves then the two slots will be for HD versions of their channels.

RT HD is now available via the Manual Tuning Menu on Freesat and Sky boxes, not tried non-HD boxes as yet but I will do

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not for the first time, or second or third or....joshua arrives late at the party posting news he has just discovered as if it were fresh when others have been discussing it for days. And he claims to have aspirations as a journalist..

Also since it is HD / MPEG-4 surely you would not see it on a non HD box.

Is this still present on 11390V, looks like it's been removed from that Txp, or configured off it at this time of night.

When i checked it earlier this evening, it was showing as no video or audio on that label.
Will check again tomorrow but id be surprised after the testing, they just...go.

That's what I thought but looks like it's possibly been configured off the multiplex. Can you see the label listed? I've been away for a few weeks so only just catching up on having a nosy at these new services testing, even if it is only a slapper on the sofa in HD!!

Seems to be gone totally.
I find that odd to say the least

Yep, defninitely has gone, very strange.

Also, EPG info shows that 'ABP News' will cease broadcasting at 11:00am this morning, presumably 'Star Jalsha' will be added to EPG 808 shortly after.

Update

11.261 H, 27.500, 2/3.

"52112"......has now been relabelled as 'Star Jalsha'.

Edit 1: 'ABP News' has now been removed from Sky EPG 808.

Currently showing 'No signal' off the EPG on 12.643 V, 27.500, 2/3.

Edit 2: 'Star Jalsha' has been added to Sky EPG 808.

Edit 3: Not sure whats going on, but I've got 'ABP News' still listed on my EPG (using a standard Sky digibox) at channel number 65535.

I'll update this later today
What a really busy week at Ruderham towers

Confirmed,just switched on my box to check and I have that here as well (on an SD Sky+ box). Obviously showing blue screen and epg listing of 'programmes no longer available'.

NEW

12.207 V, 27.500, 2/3.

'SNRNEW'.....Silent audio channel.


RR- there's probably no point listed this as it's presumably something to do with Sky News Radio, and won't turn into anything important.

Me too, unless they've been kicked back down the HD launch queue until after Christmas and Playboy have decided to come off that Multiplex/Transponder until closer to launch to save costs?

Yeah, we use this for our News feed at the station
