What a shame,none of the HD transponders are currently FTA.
Would have loved to get a peek at Brava

You can but on Astra 1G @23.5°E

Tune - 11856.00 V - DVB-S2 (QPSK) - 27500 5/6

& some more HD & SD in mpeg4 on Astra 1G (23.5E) - 12129.00 V - DVB-S2 (QPSK) - 27500 5/6

Sorry if this has been mentioned but a real gem on 23E.

SABC 1 is FTA on 10758V 22000 7/8

Not often we get a chance to see South African TV in Europe!

Ive been trying for several days to have a look at that one and cant get it to lock. BTW the fec is reported as 8/9 not 7/8

I have it tuned in on 7/8. Watching it right now.

Its DVB-S2 by the way. Actually the Stream info does show as 8/9 with 8PSK modulation.

Hmm heed to do some lnb tweaking - the signal strength is going up and down like a yoyo on 10758V here

Strange, I have the same problem on this beam

I get a perfect picture with 90% SQ
Only problem... No Sound!!!! The receiver is a Technomate 6900 with never a problem normally...!!

Any ideas anyone? Have tried to manually add A PID but doesn't like that

Sound is AAC not AC3 or MPEG standard.

Those picture bitrates on TV Vlaanderen are outstanding especially JIM

Actually the Bit Rate on Jim is nothing special - its averaging about 2500kbps atm during the poker game.

About the same as a good ITV channel on 28E!

However its obviously stat muxed as its going up and down by the second.

Loads of stuff free on 19.2 at the moment,

Wow - looks like we have double illumination on 19.2E and 23.5E.

Have re-scanned and have pulled in several new services on 23.5E.

I'll be checking out the F1 GP shortly on RTL7 HD on 12188H

Worth noting that the EPG is pretty much fully populated if you have a recording facility.

Canal Digitaal have isolated the encoding problem so these channels (and those at 23.5º) will be going back to encoded within the next 24 hours - assuming their patches work.
So enjoy them while you can.

Is it worth changing my set up from 13 & 19.2 to 19.2 and 23.5? I watch (or try to!) mainly Dutch & German channels, have been known to venture into the xxx smartcard route once or twice

Lots of HD movies on Film 1 HD - my hard drive is working overtime.

Thanks,but don't have access to 23.5E

This morning found all Canal Digitaal and TV Vlandeeren on 19.2E and 23.5E encrypted

Also SABC1 on 23.5E gone too

Stupid question but is the Eurosport English audio sound track still available on hotbird in an unencrypted format? Have german eurosport from astra 1 but need digital audiotack.
Cheers

Whilst browsing King of Sat http://en.kingofsat.net/tv-23.5E.php I noticed that SABC1 was listed as clear.

Yep, it is

The Eurosport English audio is usually FTA on Hotbird on the following transponder:

11240.00 V
27500
3/4

TVB package @ 9E

11823H
27500
3/4

Now scrambled.

Also Trace Tropical gone off same txpr

But MyZen (SD & HD) in clear on 11804V, 27500, 3/4
