BT Sport, BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 - LCNs 57,58,59
Three new LCNs have appeared on ARQ B this morning:
57: BT Sport 58: BT Sport 1 59: BT Sport 2 Channel 57 has a promo video running with a BT Sport2 ident in the top right corner. Channels 58 and 59 are not detected by one of my Samsung TVs. |

Sky Sports 1 & 2 have an MHEG saying "This service is no longer available via a TV aerial"

41 & 42 both have full EPG data.
58 & 59 have an encryption flag set, which presumably stops them being picked up on some devices. Interesting that they don't seem to be using 41 & 42 for the new channels. Also that the (presumably temporary) barker channel has a lower number than the real ones. Maybe they WILL move to 41/2 later. |

When i checked this morning, 41 & 42 were still flagged as Encrypted on my Panasonic TV but were showing the caption "This service is no longer available via a TV aerial"

Normally the flag is only present when encrypted channels are broadcasting video. When they are showing on an off-air caption it goes. Can someone with better kit than mine tell whether 58 or 59 has a video stream attached ? |

BT Sport doesn't launch until 1st August. There is no fibre optic broadband here out in the sticks, so I'll give it a miss (I'm too stingy to pay for it!).

Channels 58 and 59 are in the Network Information Table, which is where LCN information is defined for each channel. At the moment, there are no Programme Map Tables or streams added for the channels, so receiving equipment may not pick up the channels or show a message such as "selected programme is not available".
EPG data for all channels exists in the Event Information Table. For 41 and 42 it now reads "Ceased Broadcasting", 58 and 59 both carry the same details as 57 but may not appear on some equipment until the PMTs are added. The big question now is why do they need 3 LCNs? |

As far as I know, that's not been announced for any other platform. Their third channel on satellite will be ESPN but they haven't said that will be available on DTT. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

A bit OT but I've just seen a BT Sport advert on Sky News. I thought Sky were refusing to show BTs ads?!

A bit of a left field idea, but maybe BT will use channel 57 as a limited hours barker channel for BT Sport/BT TV in the downtime of one of their sports channels or maybe even the downtime of another channel?

The only other downtime on Arqiva B is a 5am to 8am slot between BabestationX closing and QVC Beauty going live. |

*see: Sky Sports wins Ofcom ruling over BT Sport adverts Ofcom has ruled in favour of Sky following a dispute over its decision not to carry adverts for its competitor BT Sport. The regulator said that it was reasonable for a broadcaster to discriminate against its competitors in this manner to protect its commercial interests and brand identity, Broadcast reports. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/media/ne...#ixzz2Xps68O92 |

BT could of opted for LCN nos 60, 61 and 63 and created there own Sports genre section.

My guess is they will use it a barker channel promoting BT Sports and other BT products at least until 1st August

So, how are these to be received?
An old TUTV box, a cam (if so which one) in your TV, or what? There seems to be little info apart that HD will also be available for some. |

If they were only using their own downtime it would be more sensible to use the Sport 1 or Sport 2 stream unencrypted.
