***JTA*** · 30-07-2008

what's happening on Eurobird 1, tp 11623, 11680 and 11546 ?
they seem to carry FTA versions of SciFi (ID 54015), SciFi+1 (ID 54011), Hallmark+1 (ID 51110) and Diva+1 (ID 54009). And there's some sort of aquarium on ID 50430.....

**Analoguesat** · 30-07-2008

Sci Fi seem to be moving onto EB1. The Hallmark & Diva timeshifts are new and due to launch soon - hadnt got that far in my updating

The aquarium appears to be a timeshift for Awareness TV. Now though this might seem to be fairly pointless, Awareness are epg brokers so theres probably a new channel launching through them fairly soon.

**Analoguesat** · 01-08-2008

The owners of the now closed Aapna TV will be launching a new Kashmiri channel called KBC in a few weeks time.

It will broadcast shows in Pahari and Mirpuri, with selected programmes also in Pothowari and Hindko

The backers of Aapna TV had a disagreement over how the channels should be run so went their seperate ways, leading to the establishment of Aap TV and KBC.

KBC is epg testing on 11343H 27500 2/3 tagge as 53275
KBC +1 is epg testing on 12525V 27500 2/3 tagged as 55211

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

Kashmiri channels KBC / KBC 2 expect to launch on August 24th. It looks like the second channel will be known as KBC 2 although it will just be a straight timeshift at least to begin with.

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

Indian channel Colours are looking at launching in the UK at some point.

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

Paramount Comedy 2 +1 reduces its broadcast hours on 4th August) from 24 hours to 7pm - 7am.

So its possible Paramount Comedy 2 +1 will be timesharing with NickToonsters (which we know will be 7am - 7pm).

In which case, 55251 on 11.343 V is the test for NickToonsters..... (This isnt confirmed yet by the way)

No signs of any testing yet - there a test label on 11343V but theres nothing on it. Chances are the kids channel will be scrambled but we will have to wait and see.

**snurgenator** · 02-08-2008

i know this has nothing to do with this post but how do you know all this info analogue are you a secret sat spy or something?

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

I could tell you - but then Id have to kill you

**snurgenator** · 02-08-2008

hmmmmmmmm i see its one of those need to know basis....kill me haha thats a good one!

**Analoguesat** · 02-08-2008

Seriously - theres no secret to it - I just read a lot of forums and web sites, and pick a lot of tips up off them. I also keep a careful eye on the new Ofcom licences that are issued.

A lot of the new Asian channel info comes off the Biz Asia website, i distill the info into interesting chunks and post it here. Theres also a very active group of a couple of dozen of us on the Digital Spy forum which chases down the new tests as they appear and try to identify them. (Its about the only good feature of DS these days

)

**snurgenator** · 03-08-2008

hmm must check that out thanks bro! i still think your a sat spy haha u got my respect!!!

**Analoguesat** · 03-08-2008

Zee Next are hoping to launch on sky in September / October

**snurgenator** · 04-08-2008

Hi this has more than likely been answered b4 but has the sky EPG been shuffled around cause im sure ive seen film 4 and zone horror up in the 100's slots?

**Analoguesat** · 04-08-2008

Whilst there are a number of mini shuffles going on at the moment to remove gaps in the sequence where services have closed the channels you mention are all still in the 3xx number series.
