I return from a week away to find (not unexpectedly) that I'm starting to lose Canalsat SD channels (Cinema Club and Famiz to date ). I've rescanned but they are now *gone*, no doubt others will follow. Since it isn't possible (God knows I've tried) to get the HD channels to open with the Solo2 in order to remain with Canalsat I'm going to be forced to buy a Canalready receiver (as I've mentioned many times in the past the supplied receiver is a FPOS and I refuse to use it) and get Canalsat to send me a Viaccess card (039 - the 018 nagra cards (which is what I have at the moment) don't work with the canalready receivers).

aargh - apparently the 039 cards are going to be discontinued, probably sometime next year and so Canalready receivers - even HD ones - will no longer work with Canalsat. I *cannot* go back to using the FPOS receivers supplied by Canalsat. Looks like I'll be cancelling the contract as soon as I can (you can only do this once a year, one month before your annual contract is due to expire) and moving to something else. Bis?

It's a shame Canal+ brand is disappearing everywhere except France - I always liked it. Especially the Nordic variety.

Change in November: Sky is spread via a DVB-S 15.07.2015, 15:02 clock, fm big change in German pay-TV provider Sky: Later this year, the Group the distribution via DVB-S in order in future to send only about the effective DVB-S2 standard. What are the consequences of the step, the Group reveals in an interview with digital channels. Stefan Kunz, Vice President of Business & Distribution Services at Sky Germany Picture: Sky Germany Her Kunz, According to our information is Sky in the 4th quarter of this year its DVB-S Setting the dissemination via the Astra satellite system 19.2 degrees East in favor of more effective dissemination path DVB-S2. ? Is this information correct Stefan Kunz: That's right, we will change even in 2015 to DVB-S2 - so that we are the first supplier in Germany, which sets completely on MPEG-4 for SD and HD. Can you give us already an concrete date for the changeover call? Kunz: The switch to DVB-S2 will probably take place in the course of November. What this means for Sky subscribers that receive their programs via Astra 19.2 degrees East? Kunz: changes for our satellite customers Once nothing. If necessary, individual customers need to perform a manual update on the date of conversion. Details, we will of course announce in due time. Bring the switch for the spectators benefits? Kunz: With DVB-S2, we are able to offer our subscribers more services in the future and even more attractive programs. Customers in the private cable networks will get more HD channels partially after the changeover. . This varies from provider to provider but What are the effects of the transition to the HDTV portfolio of Sky, it will continue to grow? Kunz: We will continue to expand the Sky program portfolio in the future. The switch to DVB-S2 is an important step in this regard. In particular, smaller cable providers lead the Sky packages on a so-called head-end, which convert the satellite signals in cable signals. What implications does this have for these providers? Kunz: The headends of cable operators need to support the DVB-S2 standard for the reception of Sky programs. On the day of conversion, this must be only set to the new configuration. Has already been in contact with the cable network operators, local cable networks as well as the housing sector, which possibly converts the packets for individual residential blocks ? Kunz: We inform the cable operator currently on the conversion. Supports Sky Germany the provider during the upgrade? If so in what form? Kunz: We work very closely with the cable operators. Especially our Commercial Distribution team is always at the point of contact for the conversion are available. What do you assess the risk a that not all providers in time create the transition and to the Sky subscribers in these networks the end of 2015 do not enjoy the full Sky channel diversity? Kunz: We are working hard to have time changed all cable operators for the changeover and any Sky customer can also see all subscribed channels. Thank you for the interview.

Sky Deutschland to move to DVB-S2 on Astra

broadcaster Sky Deutschland wants to optimise the usage of its transponder capacities on the Astra satellite system at 19.2° East to create more space for new channels.

In the night from November 17 to 18, 2015 all Sky transponders will be switched from DVB-S to the more efficient DVB-S2 modulation and all SD channels will be signalised in MPEG-4 for this purpose. At the same time, some channels will be transferred to other transponders.

Cable operators directly receiving the Sky channels on their head-ends from Astra will benefit from the move as it enables them to distribute more HD channels on their networks in QAM 256 modulation.

Network operators have to adapt their head-ends to the new configuration on the transition day. Sky currently informs the companies about the changeover.

The satellite Astra 1L (19.2 ° E) launched a test transmission as CANAL + UHD. The signal is encrypted, and the channel is not available even for the platform CanalSat subscribers. It seems that these are internal tests to prepare the French operator to launch in 2016 the first Ultra HD 4K content, which was announced earlier.
CANAL + in a few months will present a new model set-top box - Cube G6, which will support Ultra HD 4K. Of course, to broadcast content will also be required UHD UHD TV. Specifications: Astra 1L (19.2 ° E) tp. 18 (11.479 GHz, pol. V, SR: 22000, FEC: 2/3, DVB-S2 / 8PSK) ID: CANAL + UHD PID V: 110 (HEVC / UHD) PID A 121 PID PCR: 110 SID: 6401 PID PMT: 100 Provider: - Encoding: Nagra MA (N3) - CAID 1863 (belongs to the CanalSat platform, and not the Spanish Movistar + as some sources)
