Yes they can, you just have to manually set those three PIDs to decode as HE-AAC. It's three HE-AAC mono streams (24kbps) to feed TalkSport's medium wave transmitters. Each is a different regional version for the adverts (one of the reasons that 1053/1089 sound horrendous at night with the...

It is surprising, the D1 Scotland version has also appeared on 28.2°E of course, but with it being on 9°E too it does seem like they want to keep that position as a backup. The BBC National mux feed on the same transponder on 4.8 then 9°E was removed a good while ago, now being 28.2°E only.

Does seem odd it being referred to as "digital"! The only reference I can see to it on satellite in 1992 is as a good old analogue stereo pair on Astra 1A transponder 13 7.38+7.56 - 13 TV RTL4 NL du 11.391 H PAL 6.50 M y/n...

It seems like they’re probably just silent while they start terrestrial testing in Germany (I saw somewhere the other day that some 9A transmitters have started up). When this feed started a few months ago on 23.5°E it was carrying the actual sound of various WDR2 and WDR4 regional variations...

Nice find! It's a copy of 23.5°E 12645 V 2200 (19.2°E 11604 V 2200), with the two WDR DAB multiplexes - tune-s2 11604 V 2200 -system DVB-S -lnb UNIVERSAL -adapter 1 status Locked | signal -31.8 dBm | snr 15.0 dB | ber 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK Closing frontend ... dvbstream -c 1 -o 3000 | fedi2eti...

They're both still on there - tune-s2 11727 V 30000 -system DVB-S2 -lnb UNIVERSAL status Locked | signal -31.6 dBm | snr 11.9 dB | ber 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK Closing frontend ... dvbstream -o 7031 | tsniv2ni 7031 | ni2out --list dvbstream v0.7.01 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the...

Presumably those tracking "TVRO" settings are to set the signal for the Seatel antenna to try to stay locked on. That transponder is the frequency with Channel 5 which should be fine - 1555MHz with tone off is low band, so 1555+9750 = 11305, horizontal and 27500 baud is around the channel 5...

You'll find that a lot of the American stuff (dross) on TF1, France 2, M6 etc has the original English-language audio on the second/third track via the terrestrial service.

Can anyone with Crazyscan etc see any details of what's being carried on 11676V 1767? I can see that it's DVB-S2 ACM Continuous Stream, with various MIS streams inside. I can see some data relating to sapo.pt in a dump file.

All of the highlighted ones use HE-AACv2 (as opposed to the higher bitrate DAB+ ones which use HE-AACv1), so it's likely to be a decoder bug.

It’s at VHF Band III so will travel less far than FM I think, although it’s subject to tropospheric ducting like FM (and UHF TV) so can sometimes travel big distances during enhancement. I’ve had the multiplex from Amiens here in the west of England before for example. They’re using the smaller...

These extra streams in the other PIDs are FM radio feeds in MPX format - specifically Thimeo microMPX - it’s a lightly-compressed 1 channel 192kHz feed ready-multiplexed for FM transmission (mono audio 0-15kHz, stereo pilot tone at 19kHz, L/R difference). They’re switching some FM stations like...

Well… it looks like as of today the M2 multiplex has quietly launched from the Carcassonne transmitter on block 11B (Chemin Porte de Fer Towercast), with those public stations included. The other multiplex with RTL, NRJ etc will presumably arrive soon. https://www.rplusd.io/maps/map.php?zone=M2...

That's great, thanks! Interesting the amount of different versions, some pointing to the same audio PIDs, but no hidden data by the look of it.

Is anyone able to lock the transponder on 8°W C band with the French RFI radio services? 3964 R SR: 4167 FEC: 1/2 DVB-S2 QPSK Nice low FEC in QPSK mod. I'd be very interested in a transponder TS dump file if anyone would be so kind! I'm interested to investigate what additional data they send...
