American HD Feeds on 27.5w

hdmad · 24-01-2006, 19:17

I have been talking to a few friends of mine, who are very good feed hunters and they tell me that freq 11554 V 40000 8/9 on 27.5w is being used for HD testing. The channels include:

Discovery HD, ESPN HD, ABC HD, & NBC HD.

They are currently broadcasting FTA, but i dont know anyone with a receiver that can test this out, they are using the new DVB-S2 standard. On most frequencies on 27.5w it is dual beam, americans can receive the Horizontal beam on channels we see the Verticle beam, and vice versa.

all the programm will be free ?

hdmad · 25-01-2006, 08:16

They're broadcasting free right now...

Alan58 · 26-01-2006, 22:58

I have had a look at this frequency and although there is a very strong signal present I cannot get any lock. Other people have also not been able to get a lock.

danit · 27-01-2006, 10:27

to get the lock you need a new DVB-S2 suitable receiver or pc-card

@hdmad: what are your friends using to get those channels?
new Humax PR-HD1000 or Pace DS810
new KNC ONE DVB-S2 Plus?
something else I don't know?

sat-man · 27-01-2006, 10:33

ShakeyJake · 27-01-2006, 15:02

Wow. So are you getting Lost in HD as it's broadcast?

remlap · 31-01-2006, 10:51

Ive yet to read real proof they are there.

Hi there!
Do you have any idea if they broadcast in MPEG2 or H264 (MPEG4)?
I'll try it with Humax ASAP.

do you use a non sky dish and point it in direction of satalite or are you using the sky dish?

hdmad · 31-01-2006, 13:38

A few of my friends are using the new pace receiver and also i think a dvb-s2 prototype card for the pc. They are there.

remlap · 31-01-2006, 13:48

Ive seen the new DVB-S2 card still yet cant find a cost on it.

BTW do you know if these feeds carry standard def shows when theres no HD source.

sat-man · 31-01-2006, 14:00

They are supposed to be MPEG4

Alan58 · 31-01-2006, 17:02

sat-man is the Pace DS810 a proper satellite receiver i.e.
does it accept the full range of symbol rates and FECs and
can it handle MPEG2 4.2.2 transmissions
or is it a crippled animal like the Sky digibox??

it's a real and proper receiver, accepting full range of SR, moving a dish with disecq 1.2 protocol, with NagraAladin embedded for Premiere but also 1 slot Common Interface and, of course, HDTV, DVB-S2, mpeg2 and mpeg4 suitable (but no 4:2:2: I asked Pace and they told me they don't want to implement the 4:2:2 format, they consider it "professional"...)
of course, nothin' to do with a dodgybox...

sprattgraham · 08-02-2006, 22:03

Pace told me they think it can handle MPEG2 4:2:2 but could not confirm it and did not have any way of testing it.

Well, that's good news. Usually boxes from Pace have been so called crappy-boxes. Last time I used Pace was 1996, couldn't do anything with it and so changed to Nokia

sprattgraham · 10-02-2006, 22:16

Sorry found out it does not work with 4:2:2

terrestrial · 02-04-2007, 15:25
