Am sure when the Local MUX started, it was said that a shopping channel would be one of the channels, just didn't expect it to be another QVC channel.

(from the changelog) Quote:
This is on Crystal Palace as well, so presumably on all local Muxes. No audio/video/MHEG at the moment.

Video and audio appeared just after 3pm:
Code:

QVC Extra Looks much better than QVC too thanks to the higher resolution.
- I'm also seeing 9 other blank services all with a single unique PID for PMT. (Waltham) http://i.imgur.com/dGUr7gP.png |

The Service IDs listed against the LCN 0 services on your screen capture are unique to services on the D3&4 multiplex. It looks as if the configuration has corrupted at some point. (The PMT PID numbers would also be as expected for D3&4.)
You should have those service IDs listed against 738000 for Waltham. ![]() looks like I'll have to re-do the tvheadend config at some point.. Joy. |

3 x 2.5Mbps fixed rate video, 0.65Mbps Audio, 0.55Mbps tables vs. Total capacity of Mux = 9Mbps |

How flexible is the licence? Could they add a local radio station to the mux?

Why is the video only fixed rate and not variable?

As you just need to code up one version and mux it into each local mux, To stat mux each each mux would require 3 stat muxed encoders per station Rather than on fixed rate coder per station plus two UK wide coder and a simple mux.. And in any case there is very litte stat mux gain from three sources. |

Think it would be better to have three local radio stations then QVC Extra.
North East: Made in Tyne and Wear Star Radio Metro Radio NE1 FM Chart Show TV/POP North West: Same as above with the local radio stations of the North West Leeds/Yorkshire: Yorkshire Radio Made In Leeds TV Two other local stations Chart Show TV/POP |

But will the local radio stations pay as much as a TV channel?
After all this is the way that local TV emission is being subsidised. And any thing which has more than one coder per local mux will cost more ... Fir capital equipment .... I cannot se the BBC who are funding this to the tune if £25 million being very happy at the extra costs , ........ And in OPex .. . Radio back haul, extra monitoring by Comux,, extra EPG costs by digital uk. Different monitoring by Arqiva. Etc , etc.... I'm sure if someone (the radio stations) pay .. The regulation could be changed But is it likely ? |

I don't know anything about their finances, but I suspect it is almost entirely volunteer run. |
