It's about +2dB more for 5/6 if I'm correct.

Does C4 Ireland open on UK registered FTV cards as seen conflicting reports that only Eire ones open it.

Interesting figures, quite a difference there. I suspect you don't get receiver lock at 4.7dB C/N?

Cheers Timo, will be interesting how well it comes in. This TP seems stronger than the UKTV one (TP29) which gave 13.7dB C/N, this is giving 15.3dB, more akin to the BBC's RB TP back last summer in the same band. I guess UKTV have saved money by SES reducing the EiRP of their UK spot.

Are you in Finland at the mo, can you get signal lock on the new TP?

There's still Film4/More4/E4 HD available via subs cards. C5 HD (SID 7750 on TP57) is now video testing so a change over to the UK spot on this is imminent too.

Indeed so, just surprised it's taken C4 this long, especially when 4Music was released from it's pay contract not far off three years ago.

Looks like the remaining PE footprint C4 Ireland and Box TV channels are migrating to TP31 which is on a UK spot according to the field strength measurements and a contiental report I've just received. C/N 15.1dB here in the UK for 12.304H very similar to that of the C and D band UK spots...

Keep it Country will be launching on Freesat, presumably in the music genre after all the ex-Information TV/Showcase contractual programming has been removed from it, which currently runs until the end of February.

How does that C/N compare with the likes of the C and D band 2E/2G spots? I was only seeing a 0.2dB increase in C/N between TP6 and TP22 here in North West England so reckon the EiRP has been wound back to restrict overspill. The PSB spots in band C/D give over 15dB C/N, measured with my Horizon...

Interesting figures. Where abouts in Spain are you?

That's what seems odd to me, never seen a UK spot TP with as low C/N as that before measured in the UK.

I reckon some can and others can't, hence the change. Off-air measurements in the NW of England for 12.129V versus 11.817V are: 11.817V TP6: 13.8dB C/N 12.129V TP22 13.6dB C/N I'd take from this that SES have wound down the power of the UK spot to match the field strength of the EU-wide...

TP49 is on 2G.
