channel 96 on freeview will be changing its name from bs1 to babestation Xtreme soon & will start at 12am not at 10pm like bs 1 dose at the mo. also there is talk that this will change from free to pay or pin

Is that 12 Midnight? Not that I'm interested in watching!

so what happens to the 10pm - midnight hours?

i would say there will stay as bs1

yes midnight

Looks like from the link given by DAVE02, they'll be using the "Xtraview" encryption method. Oh dear, this could be fun...

Who's going to pay £10 per night for some crappy watered down porn?

If so it would replace PartyLand which is their only channel on Mux A aka TUTV's mux. :sleep:

I DONT THINK IT WILL AS IT IS GOING OUT ON CHANNEL 96 WITCH HAS BABESTATION ON IT AT THE MO & THE NEW SHOW WILL START AT MIDNIGHT NOT AT PARTYLANDS TIME WITCH IS 1AM

Will this channel be easy to hack like TVX was until last August.

E.g. KeyGens

No reason why it needs to be on Mux A, it will be FTA video accessible from an MHEG authentication application.

Also: can a new thread be created for this rather than cluttering up the changelog with speculation and rumour?

ooooh, you lucky Mancs, TWO more shopping channels!!!

the cellcast channels should be like this from wednesday night

bS 1 (midnight) CH 94
bs 2 (1am) CH 99
bs1 (10pm - midnight) CH 96
bs Xtreme ( midnight) CH 96
CH 97 no change
CH 95 no change

What is 96 called "Babe Station Extreme" or "Babe Station 1"

sorry about that
channel 96 will have both. with babestation 1 starting at 10pm then at midnight it will more over to channel 94 as Extreme will start at midnight on 96 witch will finish at 4.50am.

The Freeview EPG changed yesterday on LCN96 to show the change from midnight tonight. I will be having a look at the streams later on to see what CA system they are using. I guess TVX has set a precedent for Mheg PIN protection courtesy of TUTV and that would be sufficient although Arqiva can use any encryption on their mux without need for any further Ofcon licence.

The Babestation encryption system looks suspiciously like the TUTV system used for TVX. LCN96 is using a 6 digit PIN compared to a 4 digit PIN for TVX. The Mheg data stream is running continuously at 21kbps. Both the video and audio PIDs change when encryption is turned on and the original Babestation pre midnight PIDs are used for LCN94 smile TV2 as it's on the same mux and carries Babestation after midnight.

Have the adult channel changes taken place on the EPG guide?

YES it has

Only on FreeSat, Freeview doesn't yet have its own guide in a form that can exclude groups of channels. Even when it does, there will be millions of boxes in homes that cannot implement the segregation.

Teletext Extra is now updating listings again from TUTV capacity. I got 11 days worth of listings last night from Mux A.
