PS both HD stations are showing test card as for FoxSportsHD, NatGeoHD and as of 13th of August.

21H20 BST channels scrambled again...

SSShhhh! I been watching this one for ages! English aswell

ESPN America - 9E

11727V 27500 3/4

completely fta - not even an encryption flag on it.

Gone when I tried it earlier.

Umm I can still see it

There is something very weird about this one - I can see it but a couple of my facebook buddies cant. So I did a bit of investigation on the deeper level menus on my dreambox.

The base image isnt showing any encryption on the encryption indicators. Follow me so far?

HOWEVER the deeper menus claim its scrambled in EBU. That cant be right as afaik a standard DB wont decode EBU scrambling. - Ive never been able to watch any of the EBU feeds anyway.

So I have no idea whats actually happening.As Im basically only set up for fta reception I believe the channel is fta ish. If it cant be watched by anyone else then it cant be fta.



You tell me which one is correct as they cant both be right!

BTW I get the same thing on ESPN Classic.

Nope its not in the clear. But both are in BISS.

Ah that would explain it.Odd the DB doesnt correctly identify such a comnmon encryption.

The US channels at 15W Telstar 12 are currently unscrambled again. They are CNN Headline News, Fox News and 3 different CNN feeds. They were unscrambled this time last year The freq. is 12.544H 11.899

More than likely that this would be for the 9/11 commemorations. They may soon scramble again.

Apologies if these have been around for a while, but they were new to me

For those that have not found it yet, Eska TV can be found in the clear in two places on Hotbird at 19 E

10834 V DVB-S2 8PSK 27500 3/4
11508 V DVB-S 27500 5/6

For the visit of the Pope


Astra 28.2e


11.485H SR 5630 Channel ID Globecast 17

Showing live raw coverage from Glasgow (as per sky and BBC) w/o OSG or commentary.


(if someone can post FEC settings for this please ty)

It's on the Vertical not Horizontal, and I'm not sure about the FEC as it works on 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 & 7/8 on my GolderInterstar receiver

I think here is the frequency as per "KoS"
Eurobird 1 (28.2E) - 11488.00 V - Txp: D2S - Faisceau: Steerable 1 DVB-S (QPSK) - 27500 2/3 (34.7 Mbps) - NID:2 - TID:2601

Odd. It scans on the Horizontal on my Comag/Silvercrest. (4 times) on 11.485.

Anyway, the days coverage ended so we will see where it pops up for the next telecast.

Sorry for the temporary misplacement of Hotbird, which is , of course, at 13 E

FTA @ Astra 23.5 12.109H 27500

Fans of music channels - 1K-TV on 12015H 27500 3/4 on 13E.

However from doing a bit of hunting its actually a music channel called Stereo 1 all the way from Georgia.

Mezzo, seems to be temporarily fta at the moment, an excellent channel that really should be available in the UK.

So true.
It really is a delight for Classical and Jazz fans.
Can't understand,why its not available in the UK,when it broadcasts to 38 countries.
The revamped website,does now show the UK,however no provider is listed,at present.
So maybe,they are planning to launch soon.
