Arq A is now carrying 13 video streams (until price-drop goes off at 0200)

302 has a 192kbps main audio channel, the same as 301.

The "12th stream" adult channel Party only runs from midnight to 7am and, if I remember correctly, runs at a restricted bitrate. So it only has 13 streams running from midnight to 2am, assuming BBC RB 302 has a video stream during those hours.

Can I ask a question (I assume this is the correct place)

According to the UKDrama posts this channel will take up channel 20 does that mean that GOLD will disappear or will it bump to 25 where Dave Ja Vue is?

It also says in the UKTv Drama website that they will be on channel 20 on Freeview. No mention of Sky epg number..yet...& it does look like GOLD will move to channel 25

Actually no, this would have been the right place, for future reference this thread is solely for logging changes that have actually happened and been confirmed.

I surmise that BLUE (0400-0500) is also on the DAVE band
especially since REALLY became 24hr a while ago. This being so then the 7hrs of ADULT PARTY is greatly on its own save for the 3 'spare' hours on DAVE & BLUE ?
Plus I assume that 302 RB is virtually 24hr if the EPG is anything to go by?

Really is showing "No information" between 4am and 7am all this week, so no it isn't a 24 hour channel.

Really has been running 24/7 on satellite and cable with programmes between 4am and 7am. The channel remains off air on freeview during these hours.

Further to cyclips comments: technically, streams on this multiplex aren't shared, they are unique to each service and turned on and off as required. The legacy "timeshare" for Blue has been with Really, and NOT with Dave. (The Dave stream's legacy timeshare was with the Big Deal channel, before it switched multiplex to operate 24/7 as Movie Mix).

Channels 58 and 59 are currently only listed in the network information table, the programme map tables, audio, video streams etc will be added later. (Interesting that they are using 3 streams.)

I suspect one will be used for promos when the other two go live and encrypted.

Which would mean, 13 tv streams, 8 radio streams and an extra MHEG data stream for the 4 IPTV channels... it's getting very crowded on Arqiva B.

Seems kinda pointless to retune on the 4th, unless you pay to watch that channel just retune on the 8th.

But if you retune on the 4th there no need to retune on the 8th.

That has been there for a long time and has been much discussed here.
